Daniil Kvyat has claimed that 2019 has been one of his best years in F1, as he finally looks to realise the talent first identified by Toro Rosso in 2014. Kvyat's F1 career has been a crazy journey so far, with promotions and demotions almost every year.

The Russian probably had his most consistent season in 2019, with his 37 points enough for 13th in the championship.

The highlight of his season was undoubtedly the podium finish in Germany, where Kvyat showed his new-found maturity to stay out of trouble and come home with a brilliant result for his team.

Kvyat told the F1 website: “I feel very satisfied, to be honest. I would put it in line with one of my best years in F1 so I’m pretty happy.

“Some races go your way, some races don’t go your way but this is how our midfield works, it’s very tight and some small mistake can cost you some opportunities.
