Toro Rosso has confirmed that Pierre Gasly and Daniil Kvyat will race for the team in 2020. This comes after it was announced that Alex Albon will drive for Aston Martin Red Bull Racing next season

Both drivers have endured largley postitive seasons with Gasly earning the team's second ever podium in Germany.

Gasly has performed strongly after going back to Toro Rosso after things didn't quite work out for him at Aston Martin Red Bull Racing.

I’m really happy to continue with the team for 2020 and I’m sure we have exciting challenges ahead of us," Gasly told Toro Rosso after signing the new deal.

"Toro Rosso has always given me the best chances to perform every season and I’m super motivated and dedicated to repaying them with the best results possible next year. Toro Rosso has been improving year after year and it’s great to be a part of the journey.

"I’m very excited to see what we can achieve together in 2020.”

The team are seventh in the constructors' standings with two races remaining, just one point behind Racing Point in sixth.

It’s great to be confirmed with the team for 2020. I’m really happy because I feel very comfortable with everyone here, I know the team and they know me very well, so it’s easy to understand everyone’s needs," Kvyat told Toro Rosso.

"We’ve achieved great things together, like our podium this year in Germany, so I hope to deliver a very strong season again for this team next year. I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue in Formula 1 and I will give it my all to show the best possible performances next year.

"I’m really looking forward to more exciting times together.
