Marko: “In just a few races Kvyat is at Vergne level”

The man from the back box Red Bull Helmut Marko ensured that behind the early arrival of Daniil Kvyat to the Toro Rosso there is no interest linked to Russia's entry into the calendar, but only the pure abilities of the 19 year old who has made himself noticed in the minor formulas and in no small measure with his performances.

“The Sochi event has nothing to do with it – the voice of the former Austrian driver reported by Autosport – We were looking for the best for us and for Faenza in the medium term and all the people involved in the decision mentioned his name. He was an obvious candidate given his results, speed and maturity demonstrated. He will certainly have a lot to learn about how F1 works, in addition to the circuits, but after six or eight races he will already be able to battle with his teammate Vergne."
