Daniil Kvyat calls for review of ‘dangerous’ kerbs after qualifying crash

Toro Rosso's Daniil Kvyat believes Formula 1's safety team must review the new kerbs around the Red Bull Ring after he crashed out of qualifying, when his suspension failed after running across the kerbs at the final corner.

The Russian is the fourth driver to suffer a suspension failure this weekend so far, all of which have been caused by drivers running over the new kerbs which feature a large 'sausage' on the outside to deter drivers from running wide.

Speaking to Sky Sports as he returned to the Toro Rosso garage after his crash, Kvyat called for a "rethink" of the kerbs, describing them as "dangerous".

"Once you're on those kerbs you're not in control if the suspension breaks," he said. "At least on the AstroTurf, you had control.

"At the last corner, everyone is going off [with] four wheels, they wanted to make it better but actually they made it worse.

"I think this year the track needs a bit of review, because the track limits is an issue and these kerbs are not very cool, and they are very dangerous actually."

Kvyat described the crash as "very weird" and said it required more investigation before the team could know the exact cause.

"I don't know what happened there," he added. "When I went on those kerbs earlier I lost some laptime, but this time the suspension broke, very weird, and it steered me to the right.

"Already on the first run we had a puncture, I don't know what was going on really, we have to investigate if it's the kerb or something related to the puncture from before.

"The problem is that a different suspension broke, not the one that was on the kerb, the one that was outside the kerb broke."
