British driver Jenson Button, teammate of Spanish Fernando Alonso in the McLaren team, has affirmed on social networks that the Red Bull Racing team has a short memory after demoting Russian Daniil Kvyat and promoting Dutch Max Verstappen in his place.
“Really? One bad race and Kvyat is demoted. What about the podium in the previous race? “, Affirms Button in his space in Twitter when remembering the third place of the Russian in the Great Prize of China. The English ended his tweet with the hashtag #shortmemories (short memory).
Last Sunday, at the start of the Grand Prix of his country in Sochi, Kvyat hit the Ferrari of German Sebastian Vettel from behind twice and the four-time world champion could not overcome the third corner.
Four days later Red Bull Racing has decided that Daniil Kvyat will pass his subsidiary team Toro Rosso in the Spanish Grand Prix and that his place will be taken by Max Verstappen.
The Dutchman will race in Montmeló as a teammate with Australian Daniel Ricciardo, while Kvyat will run with Spaniard Carlos Sainz.
Christian Horner, team leader, explains in a statement that “Max has shown his great talent”, and that “his progression at Toro Rosso has been impressive”, so they are “delighted to give him the opportunity to drive for Red Bull Racing ».
“We are in a unique position to have four drivers with Red Bull Racing and Toro Rosso on a long-term contract with Red Bull, so we have the flexibility to move them between the two teams,” he explained.
“Dany will be able to continue his development at Toro Rosso, in a team that he is familiar with, and is given the opportunity to regain his form and show his potential,” he said. EFE
