It is perhaps one of the most famous transfers in Formula 1 history: the switch between Max Verstappen and Danill Kvyat in 2016. The Russian looks back on that moment.
“When Max Verstappen joined Toro Rosso as a seventeen-year-old rookie, Danill Kvyat was racing for Red Bull. Kvyat finished ahead of Daniel Ricciardo in the final standings in 2015, but was demoted due to poor performance in 2016. He returned to Toro Rosso for two more seasons before being dropped in favor of Yuki Tsunoda. Kvyat revealed that he had a feeling something was going on even before the 2016 season started. His confidence took a hit after leaving Red Bull, and he struggled to find motivation at Toro Rosso. In 2018, he became a reserve and test driver at Ferrari, where he felt more comfortable.”
