Daniil Kvyat says his duel with Red Bulls Max Verstappen during Sundays Singapore Grand Prix has boosted his confidence and left him feeling pretty good.The Russian scored his first points since Julys British Grand Prix thanks to a ninth place finish in Singapore, after an intense wheel-to-wheel battle with Verstappen -- who took Kvyats seat at Red Bull ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix. Kvyat defended firmly against Verstappen and successfully kept the Ducthman behind on a couple of occasions, before Vertsappen eventually got by with a lunge at Turn 20 at a later stage of the race.Kvyat has cut a dejected figure in recent races after a difficult spell following his demotion back to Toro Rosso, but says his performance in Singapore has re-instilled his self-belief and passion for racing in Formula One.I was fighting and I think I did a good job. Its good you know -- he had the faster car, but I kept him behind for two stints, which makes me think Im pretty good! The racing over this past month has been a big test of my passion but Im loving it again so thats mega. I pushed to the very last centimetre and left myself on the track.It was a very enjoyable race -- not that enjoyable behind Perez at the end as we didnt have the straight-line speed to overtake. I was pushing but without any gains. It was a shame but Im very happy overall.The Marina Bay Street Circuit was predicted to be Toro Rossos best chance of a points finish out of the remaining races of 2016 and although Kvyat believes the team could have profited even more from a riskier strategy, he remains positive heading to Malaysia in a fortnights time.We knew we could do a very good race here so we were pushing very hard and it was very enjoyable. It was shame we didnt risk enough with the strategy but thats the only complaint I have about it.There are more straights, which are a pain for us, so well try and take the most out of it and I believe we can still do a good job because I believe in us. I feel I have my confidence back and with that I feel we can do good things. Austin Bryant Youth Jersey .
