Toro Rosso: Italian team stick with Daniil Kvyat and Carlos Sainz for 2017
Red Bull Racing sister team keep Daniil Kyvat and Carlos Sainz for next season - despite questions about the Russian's future in F1
TORO ROSSO have confirmed their driver line-up for 2017 after announcing that they were keeping faith in Daniil Kvyat and Carlos Saniz.
Spaniard Sainz was already under contract however there were serious doubts whether Kvyat would be retained.
The Russian was ruthlessly demoted from Red Bull's A-team back to Toro Rosso earlier this season in place of Max Verstappen.
Kvyat said: "Great news! I'd like to thank Red Bull, Dr. Marko and all the team for their support and the faith they have shown in me since I returned to the team earlier this year.
"I'm very happy to stay with a team that feels like home to me. I'm really looking forward to continuing the hard work together in 2017 and I'm really aiming high.
"I will always be fully dedicated, giving my 200 percent, and I will be pushing as hard as I usually do, that's for sure. I'm delighted."
