James Key and Daniil Kvyat won't be leaving Toro Rosso

Dr. Helmut Marko has said that Red Bull will be retaining James Key and Daniil Kvyat.

Since James Allison's departure from Ferrari, Toro Rosso technical director James Key has been linked with a move to Maranello but Red Bull's motorsport advisor Marko insists that Key will not be leaving the company's junior team.

"Key has a contract until the end of 2018," said Marko.

The Austrian also denied that the company will be getting rid of Kvyat at the end of the year.

Kvyat has struggled for form since returning to Toro Rosso in May but Marko says that there are no plans to oust the Russian.

"In terms of Kvyat, we're holding onto him," Marko told Auto Bild. "He just needs time to clear his head, refuel his self-confidence and return to his full potential."
