LONDON (Reuters) - Red Bull replaced Daniil Kvyat with Dutch Formula One hotshot Max Verstappen for the remainder of the season on Thursday in a shake-up that punished the Russian for a nightmare home grand prix last weekend.

Kvyat will return to the Red Bull-owned Toro Rosso team that he started out with in 2014 while 18-year-old Verstappen moves up to the former world champions alongside Australian Daniel Ricciardo.
