Red Bull have dumped Daniil Kvyat for the rest of the Formula One season and replaced him with teenage sensation Max Verstappen, the team announced on Thursday.
The dramatic demotion comes four days after the Russian driver crashed into Sebastien Vettel's Ferrari twice in front of his home fans at Sochi.
As punishment, Kvyat will now drop down to Verstappen's seat in Red Bull's junior team Toro Rosso.
"Max has proven to be an outstanding young talent," said team principal Christian Horner in a statement.
"His performance at Toro Rosso has been impressive so far and we are pleased to give him the opportunity to drive for Red Bull Racing."
Verstappen joins Australia's Daniel Ricciardo in the Red Bull garage for the remaining 17 races of the season, while Kvyat returns to Toro Rosso after being promoted to replace Vettel, who won four world championships with Red Bull, in 2015.
"We are in the unique position to have all four drivers across Red Bull Racing and Toro Rosso under long-term contracts with Red Bull, so we have the flexibility to move them between the two teams," said Horner.
"Dany will be able to continue his development at Toro Rosso, in a team that he is familiar with, giving him the chance to regain his form and show his potential."
Kvyat was in the Red Bull dog house after his antics in Sunday's Russian Grand Prix triggered carnage on the first lap.
For the second race in succession Vettel was left fuming by his impetuous aggression.
Kvyat ran in to the back of the German at Turn Two and then as the pair recovered they clashed again at Turn Three, the violence of the crash sending Vettel into a spin into the barriers and out of the race.
