Daniil Kvyat hoping to impress in final races

Daniil Kvyat is confident that a strong end to the 2016 season could rescue his Formula One career.

The young Russian has had a dismal year, despite finishing on the podium in China. After being replaced at Red Bull Racing by Max Verstappen at the Spanish Grand Prix in May, Kvyat has struggled to recapture his form, leading many to believe he will be axed by the energy drink firm at the end of the year and replaced at Toro Rosso by Pierre Gasly.

While Kvyat accepts that remaining a part of Red Bull's F1 programme is an option, the 22-year-old insists that other teams could be interested in him if he performs well in the remaining rounds of this season.

"Obviously Red Bull has an option on me but Formula One is a sport where anything can happen anyway," Kvyat said. "Nevertheless I always aim to deliver as high a performance as possible because this will always open more doors for your future."

"At the moment I am just thinking about what happens today with this team and I am giving my absolute best to Toro Rosso. Then we will see," he added.
