A homecoming to forget

Heading to Russia on the back of a convincing Chinese Grand Prix podium, Daniil Kvyat had hoped to extend the positive momentum on home soil. Instead, the 22-year-old came under fire after his clumsy start ended Sebastian Vettel’s race and heavily compromised his and team-mate Daniel Ricciardo’s afternoon around Sochi Autodrom. Much to the dismay of the 60.000 local fans that packed the grandstands to cheer him on.
