Ricciardo happy Kvyat is back in F1

Daniel Ricciardo says it is a positive that Daniil Kvyat has been given a second chance in F1. The Russian was announced as one of the Toro Rosso drivers for 2019 this weekend.

Speaking to the media after the announcement had been made, Ricciardo joked that Kvyat should brand himself according to how Sebastian Vettel described his style after an almost-crash at the 2016 Chinese Grand Prix.

"It's now the resurrection of 'The Torpedo'," Ricciardo joked.

Dr Helmut Marko, head of the Red Bull driver development programme, had called Kvyat immature in the past, but Ricciardo was keen to see his development with his time away from a race seat at Ferrari as a development driver.
