Does Kyvat keep on smashing into Vettel now or does he switch targets to Verstapen?

Kvyat took Are Dan out in those two incidents as well, the target is now not-max.

I can't even... http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/toro-rosso-set-for-fresh-engineering-staff-changes-733741/ Kvyat currently has no engineers because Marko just fired Max's. Official line is that it was following an argument after qualifying. I bet any money the real story is that they told Marko he was bag of dicks.

Those two teams are the source of 80% of the "WTF is this political bullshit??" stories you've seen in the last few years. Without them we'd have good engines, reasonable prize money distribution and more european races.

Apparently it's too late to change tyre allocations so they're both stuck with what the other chose for the next few races. It's a shame Kvyat didn't find out in advance. "Yes Max, so for Spain you've got 15 sets of the hard tyres, 1 set of radials from a 1963 Ford Fairlane and what appears to be a watermelon with a crudely drawn picture of a penis on it".

Max Verstappen's promotion to Red Bull was done to ease "the considerable unrest" at Toro Rosso between the teenager and Formula 1 teammate Carlos Sainz Jr, according to Helmut Marko. Marko has also claimed Daniil Kvyat's return to Toro Rosso to make way for Verstappen was in order to ease the growing pressure on him following his poor start to the year. In light of the unrest between Verstappen and Sainz at Toro Rosso, and with Kvyat's collisions with Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel in Russia on Sunday, Marko felt the time was right for the duo to swap seats. Explaining the switch, Marko told Motorsport-Total.com: "It was primarily a measure to take away the pressure off Daniil." "This year he has not been near the same performance as last year," he said. "He has been on average three to five tenths [of a second per lap] slower than [teammate Daniel] Ricciardo. Last year he was at eye level. He has been very inconsistent, had many ups and downs, and the crash in Sochi was as a consequence of the internal pressure he had built himself. It did not come from us. "Romain Grosjean was once in a similar situation when he had crash after crash. We wanted to avoid that, and our luxury is we have the ability to set him up for Toro Rosso again. On the other hand there has been considerable unrest at Toro Rosso between Verstappen and Sainz, so we have solved several internal problems. And we have not removed Kvyat. He is still with us in the squad, and Toro Rosso is a good midfield team." Suggested to Marko Verstappen's move was a timely one given Ferrari has long been interested in the 18-year-old, he replied: "As you know we have long-term contracts so there was no need for action. But now we have Ricciardo and Verstappen side by side, and we can accurately assess how the two perform, and we have Kvyat against Sainz. This makes future decisions easier, but as mentioned, all four drivers have long-term contracts." Originally on Autosport.com

Riiight, Roman Grosjean was once like that, then he matured and for the past few seasons has been doing an alonso and dragging a dogshit car far higher up the points than it has any right to be. He wasn't demoted to what is essentially a reserve driver and have the threat of being dumped at the end of the season hanging over him.

Red Bull is sceptical [sic] that Formula 1’s new engine rules from 2017 will deliver what has been promised on either cost or performance grounds. http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/red-bull-warns-of-no-guarantee-over-2017-f1-engine-power-733929/ It's just non-stop updates from the Red Bull camp this week.

Not exactly, he was the reserve Renault /young Ferrari driver and was drafted in after Nelson Piquet, Jr got fired, he was put back to reserve in 2010/2011 while competing in GP2 as he was always going to be a stopgap for pay drivers. Last three years of Renault before it fully became Lotus saw different 8 drivers They are referring to 2012 when he was the "first lap nutcase" and got his race ban.
