Verstappen to Red Bull!!!

I figured the reason they moved Verstappen to Red Bull was because of Kyvat crashing into Vettel twice. Who knows, I could be wrong. Good for Verstappen though.

I am glad that Kvyat is getting another chance. Too many drivers have been dumped without ever getting this type of chance. I hope is runs with it.

They wouldn't have needed a reason. All Red Bull drivers (both RBR and STR) have a clause in their contract that allows for Red Bull to move them between both teams as needed. They could have simply switched without a reason, but Kvyat's utter blackout at Sochi gave them a great excuse to do it without having to answer any questions.

Kvyat wasn't as fast as Ricciardo, but they are clearly using the Russian GP crashes as an excuse to do what they wanted to do regardless.

Kvyat was consistently about 0.6 to 0.8 seconds slower than RIC in all races this year and most races last year.

I've just become a bigger fan of Ricciardo. Whup up on this front-runner than bail from RBR, and go to a real team like Williams, McLaren, or Ferrari. I never have liked this team, they are smug when they win, and just plain ugly when things aren't going their way. IMO they have been a rather distasteful institution in F1. Than again things could change for the better in coming years

LOL, that just takes the cake...

Williams have a habit of dumping world champions right after they win the title (Mansell, Hill, Piquet). McLaren are run by a control freak who even demands that drivers relinquish the trophies they have won, Sauber is run by a Kamikaze woman who sells two seats to four people, Force India is run by two criminals, one of which is in jail and the other is on the run, and you call RB a 'rather distasteful institution'? Let's face it. You hate RB because they made a guy you don't like win four titles, that's the only thing they did wrong.

I've got nothing against Seb, in fact I admire him!

Precisely. One can't but admire a four time WDC, even if he did get his ass handed to him by Danny Boy.
