Will Kvyat get another chance at AlphaTauri? "He can still turn the tide''

Yuki Tsunoda has already been confirmed for the test at the end of the season in Abu Dhabi for AlphaTauri and thus the door to Formula 1 in 2021 seems to be wide open. However, not everyone thinks that Daniil Kvyat should be written off so quickly.

Ever since Honda's return to Formula 1, the Japanese have openly stated that they want another Japanese driver in Formula 1. With Tsunoda, the ideal candidate seems to be ready as his performance in F2 continues to improve. In addition, Kvyat is underperforming and seems to be counting his days in Formula 1.

Will Kvyat get another chance?

''The season is still long and I think Kvyat can still turn the tide. We will have to wait a few more races. I understand that the fans are worried about Kvyat's position, but as a former F1 driver I know better than anyone what can play in the background. We don't even know half of what's going on'', Vitaly Petrov said to the Izvestia.

According to the former Renault and Caterham driver, external factors will also play a role in the disappointing results of his compatriot. ''There are a lot of things that only the team boss and Daniil will know, but that Daniil is not allowed to say because of his contract. However, I have noticed that Franz Tost is defending Daniil and talking about his speed'', concludes Petrov.
