Kvyat angry at Albon: "You wouldn’t expect that from a driver of his level"

Daniil Kvyat was battling for points and, given the course of the race, would probably have made it if he had not run into Alexander Albon. After a successful overtake, the Thai cut across Kvyat and ripped off the Alpha Tauri's front wing.

Because the incident happened just after the pit entrance, Kvyat had to drive a whole lap without a front wing, ruining his chance of scoring points.

“I didn’t understand his manoeuvre really,” said a frustrated Kvyat after the race. “What was he doing? I think it was quite unprofessional of him and poor judgement, so you wouldn’t expect that from a driver of his level, who’s been racing so long."

“But anyway, the race was pretty much ruined from then on. I had to do the whole lap very slow with the damaged front wing as a consequence. It went under my floor, damaged my whole floor, the brake cooling, and the race from there was really a struggle because the car was massively down on downforce, and I was just really hoping for rain or something really strange to happen," Kvyat said to Formula1.com.
