Barely a week has gone by since Daniil Kvyat was dropped from Red Bull in favour of teenager Max Verstappen, but already they"ve been forced to face the media together in F1"s customary six-man, pre-race press conference.Sat side-by-side, members of the press had expected an awkward encounter given that Verstappen now occupies the car Kvyat took to the podium in China last month, but the pair were remarkably philosophical about the switch.The Russian was clearly disappointed though, saying that Red Bull had given him "no real explanation" for the move. Kvyat recalled that he had been "lying on the sofa" watching Game of Thrones when the decision was conveyed over the phone."It was hallo, well, we have some news for you" and I think there was a 20 minute talk," said the 22-year-old.
