Everyone wants to race for the top teams in Formula 1 and Daniil Kvyat has admitted that he would like to partner Max Verstappen and drive for Red Bull Racing once again. 

“It would certainly be nice to be Max’s teammate,” Kvyat told RacingNews365.

“He is now in a good place with a team that does everything for him, and besides that he is also mentally very strong. For those reasons it would be interesting to be his teammate.”

Kvyat has had a number of different teammates at a list of different teams and believes that he's proven himself to be just as fast as all of them. 

“I have had some very strong teammates,” he said. “Carlos Sainz was my teammate at Formula Renault and Ricciardo of course in Formula 1 at Red Bull.

“That was an interesting year, because Daniel had beaten Sebastian Vettel the year before but I could still beat him that year in the number of points.

“I certainly think F1 fans still remember that, although it’s true that people often look forward rather than back. You always want to do better than you did in the past.”

Kvyat has already been given an opportunity by Red Bull but he was replaced by Verstappen halfway through the season. It will be interesting to see how Alex Albon does this season and if the team feels any need to mix up the lineup again.
