Despite putting in a strong performance in Sunday afternoon's USGP at the Circuit of the Americas, finishing the event in a healthy tenth place, Russian driver Danii Kvyat has been dropped from the Scuderia Toro Rosso driver line up once again.

โ€œMy best race of the season for sure!โ€ Dani said after the USGP. โ€œI'm very happy about the result and I did everything I could to bring the points home. I really enjoyed myself, it was a very clean and enjoyable race and overall a good job by the team. We kept it together with limited running and we still managed to get into the points.โ€

โ€œI came here with a fresh mindset, we shuffled some things in the team to give everyone some new motivation and some new focuses. Everything has been working fantastically this weekend and the race was just great.โ€

However, it obviously wasn't great enough in the eyes of the team as they have now announced that young New Zealander Brendon Hartley will be remaining with the team for Mexico this weekend, partnering French youngster Pierre Gasly.
