Toro Rosso boss Franz Tost believes a short break from Formula One could be exactly what former driver Daniil Kvyat needs to revive his chances of a long-term career in the series.
Kvyat was dropped by Toro Rosso at the tail-end of a frustrating campaign which saw him score just five points, having struggled to match the pace of Carlos Sainz for most of the year. The Russian has now been cut by the entire Red Bull programme and his hopes of a 2017 drive rest on Williams, though he is appears to be an unlikely candidate as the team continues to assess Robert Kubica and Sergey Sirotkin, with Pascal Wehrlein also still available.
