Jenson Button has criticised Red Bulls short memories after they replaced Daniil Kvyat with Max Verstappen for the remainder of the 2016 season. The decision, which comes following Kvyats crashes at his home race in Russia, has sent shockwaves around Formula 1 just four rounds into the campaign. The 22-year-old will drive for Red Bulls junior team Toro Rosso, who he raced for in 2014, from the Spanish Grand Prix while Verstappen, 18, makes the step up to partner Daniel Ricciardo.

But while he was heavily criticised for his role in Sebastian Vettels retirement and Red Bulls lack of points in Sochi, Kvyat has secured the teams only podium of 2016 so far with a third-place finish at the Chinese GP. Really?, McLaren driver Button posted on Twitter. One bad race and Kyvats dropped, what about the podium in the previous race? #Shortmemories.Button went through several team changes as a younger driver and felt he was treated unfairly when dropped by Renault in 2002. I respect his [Verstappens] talent but hes got time on his hands, he added.The Briton wasnt the only one shocked by Red Bulls call. Verstappen has already being tipped by seasoned observers as a future world champion after starring in his debut season, and Sky F1 pundits believe Kvyats demotion is as much about the Dutchmans ability as the Russians errors.Helmut Marko, a Red Bull advisor and the head of their driver development program, was pictured chatting with Verstappen and his father Jos even before Kvyat had twice crashed into Vettel on the opening lap. We look back at the crash that cost Daniil Kvyat his place in the Red Bull line-up from the Spanish Grand Prix onwards. Helmut Markos been looking for chance to get Max Verstap in the senior team, Ted Kravitz wrote. Kvyat gave him two. Plus strengthens RBs hand in BIDDING WAR.RBR decision smacks of team coming under pressure from VES camp to retain his services, said former McLaren mechanic Marc Priestley. Little or nothing to do with Russian GP incidents.Martin Brundle felt that the move eases Toro Rosso relations with Verstappen and Carlos Sainz now split up and that both Horner and Markos failure to stick up for Kvyat in Sochi was telling. Sochi obviously final catalyst to changing Kvyat for Verstappen in a bigger picture, he said. Future contract for MV, takes tension out of MV v Sainz.It was telling that Red Bull didnt really defend Kvyat post Sochi race. In true F1 soap opera style I hope Kvyat really flies now in TR! Kvyats crash into Sebastian Vettel in the first lap of the Russian GP provoked this furious reaction from the German Mercedes and Ferrari had both reportedly been interested in signing 2015s Rookie of the Year Verstappen, despite team boss Christian Horner insisting he had a long-term deal.WATCH: F1 Report RussiaRachel Brookes added: Perhaps the prospect of Max being the subject of silly season prompted an early move from Red Bull to thwart off Merc and Ferrari? The Verstappens were seen in deep discussion with Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko in the Russian GP paddock Commentator David Croft, meanwhile, wrote: Wow, thats a quite a decision by Red Bull but is it as much about keeping Verstappen as it is about penalising Kvyat?Sky Sports News HQs Craig Slater took exception to Red Bulls statement, in which there was glowing praise for Verstappen. Just four races into the new season, Max Verstappen has swapped places with Daniil Kvyat. Verstappen will now race for Red Bull. If you read the wording of statement it says about the exceptional talent of Max Verstappen and the wish to develop him further, he said. No question about it, there are a lot of teams sniffing around, looking to get him on board.Its very difficult to see how this will enable Kvyat to get confidence back and find form again.
