pedrocor should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
As I understand Doc Helmut Marko... AFC racing program shouldn't collide with F1 calendar as we will be RBR reserve driver.
Let's see WEC Calendar:

6h Silverstone - April 20th = Chinese GP
6h Spa - May 10th = Spanish GP (actually 11th as 6h Spa are run on Saturday)
Le Mans official test - June 1st = New Jersey GP
Le Mans 24h - June 14th/15th - No problems there
6h Sao Paulo - August 31st - No problems there
6h of COTA - September 21st = Singapure GP
6h of Fuji - October 12th = Japanese GP ??? (another FIA nonsense, I suppose...)
6h of Bahrain - November 15th = Mexican GP (actually 16th as 6h Bahrain are run on Saturday)

Five of seven races of WEC, added to Official Test, collide with F1 GP calender, not the best option on Dr. Marko criteria...
In other hand, not dropping AFC means they aren't sure, at all, of Kvyat level of performance, they want to keep their options wide open...
Another angle is that "performance under pressure" or lack of it was said to be the main reason to not give Da Costa the Toro Rosso seat... What could be more nerve racking than a third season on a championship he was the class of the field in his first incomplete season?
Sorry for going a bit off topic
