Daniil Kvyat is looking forward to the start of the 2020 Formula 1 season at the Australian Grand Prix this weekend. Toro Rosso have changed their name to AlphaTauri and the team will hope that the rebrand will spark and inspire more success. 

“We’ve done a lot of productive laps during winter testing, so I think we’re ready for this season and the challenge ahead," Kvyat said. "We started well in Barcelona, learning the characteristics of the new car, trying to make the most out of the new set-up directions. I’m sure we will get a lot more answers in the next two races in Australia and Bahrain, and we’re excited about that.

“The regulations being stable for another year offers an opportunity for the midfield teams to challenge the top ones, but of course, it will be tight this year between the other midfield teams and ourselves. Once again, it’s going to be a very interesting fight ahead and we’re looking forward to that. I hope the battle is going to be nice and close."

Toro Rosso had one of their best seasons in their history last year and will hope to push on even further in 2020 and will hope to start well in Australia this weekend.
