UFA, 28 October 2019. /Bashinform News Agency/ translated by Tatiana Aksyutina/.

The driver of Toro Rosso, a native of Ufa, Daniil Kvyat, received a penalty for a collision with Nico Hulkenberg at the last lap of the Mexican Grand Prix Formula 1, RBC reports. Reportedly, “the race attendants found the Russian pilot guilty of an accident in the last turn of the route and fined him for 10 seconds. As a result of the penalty, Kvyat moved in the final protocol from ninth to 11th place, and the pilot of Mercedes Lewis Hamilton became the winner of the Mexican Grand Prix”.

However, the Ufa native did not agree with the penalty for the accident with Hulkenberg, Championat informs. “I am very upset by the fine, because I, as a racer, I do not agree with it - because we were told that we were allowed to fight. Nico defended himself, I attacked - such things happen, especially in the last turn of the final round, ” the portal quotes Kvyat as commenting.
