SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Daniil Kvyat was nicknamed 'The Torpedo' after a collision at the 2016 Chinese Formula One Grand Prix but the Russian felt unfairly punished after hitting both McLarens on another smashing Sunday.

The Toro Rosso driver, who eventually retired, was handed a drive-through penalty for causing a first-lap collision with British rookie Lando Norris, whose car bounced in the air, and Spaniard Carlos Sainz.
