This weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix will be the last in a Renault for Jolyon Palmer, the team has confirmed.
The Briton will be replaced for the remainder of the season by Toro Rosso’s Carlos Sainz, in a move that has been rumoured since the Spaniard signed a 2018 contract with Renault earlier this year.
Daniil Kvyat will return to Toro Rosso beside Pierre Gasly for the remaining four races of the season.
