Toro Rosso team chief Franz Tost i💫s hopeful that sacked driver Daniil Kvyat can secure a Formula 1 role in the near future, saying the Russian “deserves” to be on the grid.

Kvyat was dropped twice through 2017 by Toro Rosso due to🃏 a lack of performance, with his final appearance coming at the United States Grand Prix before Brendon Hartley took his seat for the remaining three race🐼s of the season.

Kvyat was 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:dismissed f🤡rom the Red Bull motorsport programm🌌e al🍃together after spending the majority of his racing career under it🅺s umbrella, and is now considering his options for 2018.

, Tost spoke warmly of Kvyไat’s talent and ability, admitting that reliability issues may have contributed to his dip in performance and eventual sacking.

“I am still convinced that Da🐲niil has a very high natural speed. He was sometimes even faster than Daniel Riccardo,” Tost said.

“But somehow last year and this year he couldn’t show the potential that is within him. He was involved in many incidents, b🌠ut in his defence I also have to say that he had many reliability issues and that🦂 didn’t help build up confidence.

“Being the victim of too many incidents killed th💖e performance he would have been able to show.

“Maybe a short break – to get organized again – and probably we will see Daniil back at his usual performance level with an💫other team.”

Asked what ♕Kvyat’s key problem had been, Tost said the Russian was often “too aggressive” at the start of a race.

“The first corner was his weak point. He wanted🅰 too much in the first hundred metres – success by any means,” Tost said.

“That puts you under pౠressure – unnecessary pressure – and that never worksꦍ.

“I hope for him that he gets another chance, as I thi𝔍nk he deserves to be in F1.”

Kv𒊎yat is known to be in contention for an F1 seat with Williams for 2018, but is not the team’s first choice, with recent reports claiming compatriot S🥀ergey Sirotkin is now leading the chase for the drive.
