wants to keep Carlos Sainz in the team, every time that there is
site free in the first team.

confirms that the team wants to complete its three-year program, a
plan designed for all pilots of the program of development of the
mark. “we’ve Always talked about a three-year program, always
depends on what is going on in Red Bull, which for the next
season is full with Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen.
Seems and, personally, I hope that is the case, that Carlos Sainz
will be with us at Toro Rosso. I think that will be confirmed soon.
It is an opportunity for Carlos to show their talent, I hope
our car next year is very competitive, you will not find
more disadvantages on another computer”, ” says Tost, aware of

Kvyat, in the air
Though

Red Bull or the pilot himself want the same thing. Toro Rosso do not have the
last word on its line-up of riders and, in the case of the
Russian, the open wound after it had been replaced by Max Verstappen
in the first team, is still open, so that Daniil could
look for another team to continue his career. In the case of the Russian out of the structure of Red Bull, Pierre Gasly would be his replacement.

the lineup for the next year is not decided at 100%.
I expect that Carlos will continue with us. Personally, I hope
that Kvyat to stay in the team because I think that it is a very good pilot.
But he has to feel good and then we’ll see what’s to come
future. You can do a good job and people can see his talent,
to regain confidence it is important to”, says
Tost, who has always defended the quality of Kvyat.
