Daniel Kvyat will look to build on his twelfth place finish last time out at the Japanese Grand Prix when racing returns this weekend in Mexico. It's been a mixed season for the Russian, who currently sits thirteenth in the drivers' standings on 33 points.

Just four races are remaining this season and Toro Rosso are involved a tight battle in the midfield with several teams and are just 18 points behind Renault who currently occupy fifth.

"It would be nice to train at altitude, but we never have the time as this is a particularly busy part of the season, involving a lot of travelling with long flights. Overall, it’s an enjoyable weekend, " the Russian said in Toro Rosso's race preview.

"I have some good memories here and had a good result a couple of years back, finishing fourth and Mexico City is also where we have one of our usual team dinners and, as we head towards the end of the season.

"It’s nice that everyone gets together in a more relaxed way than at the racetrack.”

The 25-year-old has made 89 starts in F1 since his debut in 2014 and will be looking to add to his 33 points he's made this season
