Daniil Kvyat emerged from Monaco, his second race with Toro Rosso since he was axed by Red Bull, with more penalty points than any other driver, but this has not stopped him from calling for his team to get their act together.
Speaking after the Monte Carlo race Kvyat said, “I cannot wait to go to Canada because I was feeling a little bit helpless [before the start in Monaco] and it’s not a good feeling to be feeling helpless. It’s very painful when you lose the race before it starts, but we have to be strong because the car has really good potential.”
“These small things that kill our potential. Carlos could score more points but he didn’t,” the Russian pointed out. “We need to have a good package, but we need to get our sh*t together.”
Kvyat’s future with the Red Bull organisation is increasingly uncertain, and he acknowledges, “Everyone is human and everyone can talk. If we need to talk, we talk, and when there is a time to tell something to the media I will let you know. At the moment I don’t want to let you know.”
Kvyat heads to Montreal with seven penalty points, which means he is five away from a race ban.
The balance is as follows: Marcus Ericsson on six points, Max Verstappen and Valtteri Bottas on five points apiece, Romain Grosjean, Nico Hülkenberg and Pascal Wehrlein all on four points, Ferrari pair Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Räikkönen have three, with most others on two with the exception of Daniel Ricciardo, Nico Rosberg, Sergio Pérez, Felipe Massa, Jenson Button and Jolyon Palmer who are without penalty points
