After a torrid first half of the season it appears that Daniil Kvyat my be for a two year extension with Red Bull which is likely to lock him into a race seat with Toro Rosso for that periodd, despite reports earlier this year that he was set to be ditched at the end of this season.
GMM, citing reports in Russian media, claim that a two year deal with Red Bull is being penned for the Russian and with it putting to bed suggestions that Kvyat would be replaced by highly rated Red Bull junior driver Pierre Gasly.
Should Kvyat remain with the Red Bull owned junior team, it is likely his teammate will be Carlos Sainz. However the Spaniard is being linked to a seat with Renault for next season. His departure would pave the way for Gasly to be promoted to the Formula 1 grid.
Toro Rosso team boss Franz Tost said of Kvyat's recent form, "He has shown a very good performance and it's good to hear that he still loves Formula 1."
"Daniil Kvyat is a high-skill driver. He lost it a little bit in the last months but fortunately he is coming back."
"I hope that for the rest of the season he will also do good races to show his talent and his potential -- and then we will see what happens in the future," added Tost.
