Max Verstappen favoured leaving Red Bull star feeling like he was "stabbed in the back"

Daniil Kvyat opened up on how he felt "stabbed in the back" by Red Bull when he lost his seat to Max Verstappen.

The Russian racer had raced for the team in 2015, partnering Daniel Ricciardo. But an underwhelming start to the following campaign forced Red Bull into a decision and Kvyat was sent back to the Toro Rosso sister team after just four races.

Verstappen moved the other way and repaid that faith immediately. He secured his first Formula 1 victory on his debut for the team in the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, taking advantage of a collision between Mercedes team-mates Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg to win in Barcelona.
