Toro Rosso has confirmed an unchanged driver line-up for the 2020 F1 season.

Daniil Kvyat and Pierre Gasly will continue to drive for the team next year.

Both drivers returned to the team during the course of this season. Kvyat made his F1 debut with Toro Rosso in 2014, then also returned to the team two years later following a stint at Red Bull, before sitting out the 2018 season.

Gasly did 12 races at Red Bull at the beginning of the year, but struggled to get the best from the car, and was replaced by Alexander Albon during the summer break.

“Both drivers have shown really good performances this season and they have proven in their years in F1 to be very competitive, able to exploit the car’s potential and give valuable feedback to make improvements,” said team principal Franz Tost.

“This young but experienced duo, combined with hopefully a competitive car, will be the best factors to achieve a very successful season in 2020 and I’m looking forward to this extended cooperation.”

Kvyat, who is already the team’s longest-serving driver, scored Toro Rosso’s second podium in its 14-year-history in July’s German Grand Prix.

“I’m really happy because I feel very comfortable with everyone here, I know the team and they know me very well, so it’s easy to understand everyone’s needs,” he said.

“We’ve achieved great things together, like our podium this year in Germany, so I hope to deliver a very strong season again for this team next year. I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue in Formula 1 and I will give it my all to show the best possible performances next year.”
