Daniil Kvyat is in line for a two-year contract renewal with Red Bull according to reports.
The young Russian was dumped from the energy drink firm's main team earlier this season and struggled for form at their second-string team Toro Rosso until recently.
But now, Guiamotor and Russian news agencies Tass and Ria Novosti, are reporting that Kvyat could be set to stay with the Austrian firm.
Although that does not guarantee him a Formula One seat, he could remain as a test and reserve driver in a similar role to Sebastien Buemi. There are alos question marks looming over the consistency of his potential replacement Pierre Gasly.
Speaking of Kvyat, Toro Rosso team boss Franz Tost was positive about the former GP3 champion.
"He has shown a very good performance and it's good to hear that he still loves Formula One," said the Austrian. "Daniil Kvyat is a high-skill driver. He lost it a little bit in the last months but fortunately he is coming back."
"I hope that for the rest of the season he will also do good races to show his talent and his potential - and then we will see what happens in the future," added Tost.
