Daniil Kvyat proving he deserves F1 berth

A Russian presidential advisor believes Daniil Kvyat's strong Singapore Grand Prix performance shows he is proving he deserves to stay in Formula One.

 Igor Ermilin of the Russian automobile federation hailed Kvyat's performance in Singapore after a slump telling Izvestia news agency that the former Red Bull driver's talents have not diminished.

"Singapore was a demonstration of the fact that Daniil has maintained his abilities and skills," he said.

"He showed that when the car does not have problems, he will not let you down. Races like this prove that formula one needs Kvyat."

Russian driver and pundit Nikolay Martsenko agreed, and hopes that the result in Singapore will give Kvyat a boost in confidence.

"It is very important that he gets ahead of his team mate in the races and the overall standings," he told Sportbox.

"No matter how bad the car is, whether it is updated or not, it is just important to be ahead of his team mate," he added.
