Daniil Kvyat: "It’s just a shame not to get the reward" at home Grand Prix

Daniil Kvyat was unfortunate not to score points at his home Grand Prix. The Toro Rosso driver finished 12th at the Russian Grand Prix and raced well but would have wanted to have come away from the weekend with some form of reward. 

“I had a strong and competitive race today," Kvyat said after Sunday's race. "It was a good effort from the team to start from the back of the grid and finish very close to the points.

"I had a good start and some enjoyable battles, I was really fighting until the very last lap, so I’m happy with my race. It was a good Sunday in the end, especially considering the problems we had in the previous days. It’s just a shame not to get the reward…the team would have deserved it.”

Kvyat has performed well throught the season but had a tough weekend in Sochi and will hope that things improve next time out.
