Pierre Gasly will replace Daniil Kvyat in the next Malaysia Grand Prix...
Toro Rosso have confirmed that Gasly will race in the Malaysian GP and a few more races and said that Kvyat will remain part of the Red Bull team...
Franz Tost the Toro Rosso boss Kvyat is rested due to recent event and mainly the crash at Singapore GP.
"Scuderia Toro Rosso was established by Red Bull to bring youngsters from it's Junior Programme into Formula 1 and that's what we are doing by giving Pierre this chance," said Franz Tost.
"He is the next in line for Red Bull for this opportunity and he has shown that he deserves it, having taken the 2016 GP2 title and this year being very competitive in the Super Formula series in Japan. He really has a valid chance of winning the title, as he is only one point behind the leader.
"The driver switch gives us an opportunity to make an informed decision regarding our 2018 driver choices. For a variety of reasons, some of them due to technical problems, but others being mistakes of his own making, Daniil Kvyat has not really shown his true potential so far this year, which is why we are standing him down for the next few races. This will give us the opportunity to evaluate Pierre on track during proper race weekend."
