Daniil Kvyat, 19, to drive for Toro Rosso
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/
so F1 has now become a childrens playground? What happened to the days where F1 was a mans sport? Now we have these young kids brainwashed to say the right thing, wear the watches, thank the sponsors. I really miss the days where the drivers said what they wanted and not what they were told to as im sure is the case for this new arrival.
Ok im gonna get a back lashing im sure but i grew up watching Prost, Mansell, Senna etc where the cars were animals and you were risking your life every lap. Its what made the sport what it was then. Of course its great that safety is better but there has to be some risk. These kids would have brown underwear and be exhausted after 1 lap in the 80s MP4/4 McLaren.
ok bring on the abuse!!!

Sad to see Antonio Félix Da Costa out of the scheme when almost all people though he had the Toro Rosso seat for 2014.

Re: Daniil Kvyat, 19, to drive for Toro Rosso
What dya mean now has become a childrens' playground?
Alonso was 20 when he first drove for Minardi. I'm kinda sure that Chris Amon was only 19 when he started at Brabham. Eddie Cheever can't have been kicking any more than about 20 either.
There might have been some really young Mexican driver for Ferrari in the early 60s too. I flipped through a book I have about Ferrari cars and this chap looks like he's in high school or something.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

Re: Daniil Kvyat, 19, to drive for Toro Rosso
STR say they have no doubts
but the rest of us and the rest of the motorsport world has plenty of doubts
As some have suggested, i'm sure money is involved. This kid " and I really do mean waif like kid ( looks like he has never lifted a single weight in his life) seems way to young and inexperienced to be driving an F1 car. No way he is one of the top 22 drivers in the world. There are probably 60 guys more qualified to fill that seat than this lad.
and when STR sucks yet again next year they will surely blame this too inexperienced and rushed guy for their failures, then get rid of him for then next ridiculous experiment and bad judgement call by marko and his clown posse. At this point it almost seems like they are just contrarians for the heck of it. logic be damned.
As much as i like vergne, imagine where STR would be today if they still had Buemi and Alguersari driving for them. 3 years of consistency and jointly developing a car with 2 young and quick guys?
Ricciardo is good for sure, but not as good as buemi imo.
But this latest stunt with this kid is a bit astonishingyou can't argue with results.

That really isn't that young of an age to be a good, or even great driver. Young people do fantastic in many forms of motorsport, and the thing usually holding them back is lack of funding to promote themselves. Being this is a feeder to the Red Bull cars, it gives him time to mature and learn lessons on the track... something you can't fake.
