Daniil Vyacheslavovich Kvyat (Russian: Дании́л Вячесла́вович Квят, IPA: [dənʲɪˈil vʲɪtɕɪˈslavəvʲɪtɕ ˈkvʲat]; born 26 April 1994) is a Russian professional racing driver who competed in Formula One between 2014–2017 and 2019–2020. He became the second Formula One driver from Russia and is the most successful of the four Russian drivers to date, with three podiums.

He was runner-up at the 2012 Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, and a champion in 2012 Formula Renault 2.0 Alps Series and 2013 GP3 Series. He made his debut in Formula One as a Toro Rosso driver in 2014 finishing 15th in the World Championship. He then moved on to Red Bull Racing to partner Daniel Ricciardo for the 2015 season. He scored his first Formula One podium finish at the 2015 Hungarian Grand Prix, finishing second behind Sebastian Vettel. In his first season with Red Bull Racing, Kvyat finished 7th in the Drivers’ Championship, ahead of his teammate. He started the 2016 season with Red Bull Racing, scoring his second podium, finishing third at the 2016 Chinese Grand Prix. However, following a controversial collision during the opening lap of his home race in Sochi, Kvyat was demoted to Toro Rosso ahead of the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, where he finished the season and was retained by the team for the next season. Although consistently demonstrating solid qualifying performances in 2017, his season was plagued by various problems, including several retirements in races where he could have scored points. After the 2017 United States Grand Prix, Kvyat and Red Bull parted ways, effectively terminating his contract. Kvyat spent 2018 as a development driver for Scuderia Ferrari, before being re-signed by Toro Rosso for the 2019 season. At the 2019 German Grand Prix Kvyat claimed the third podium of his career by finishing third; this was also Scuderia Toro Rosso’s second podium finish after they won the 2008 Italian Grand Prix with Sebastian Vettel.

In 2021 he was a reserve driver for the Alpine F1 Team.

In 2022, Kvyat was entered to compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship for G-Drive Racing, but this team withdrew on 6 March^[1] in response to conditions introduced by the FIA following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.^[1][2] He called the restrictions «unfair and discriminatory».^[3] Kvyat drove at the Indianapolis Road Course race in the NASCAR Cup Series for Team Hezeberg on July 31.

Early life[edit]

Daniil Kvyat was born in Ufa, Bashkortostan, Russia, on 26 April 1994 to Vyacheslav and Zulfiya Kvyat. Vyacheslav Kvyat worked for Bashneft, initially as a mechanic at the Novo-Ufan refinery, but rose through the ranks to become the financial director of the export division until 1996. Later he branched out and worked with other energy companies, ending up as CFO of West Siberian Energy. At the same time he stood for election as a Deputy in the Bashkortostan state parliament.^[4]

Career[edit]

Karting (2005–2009)[edit]

In January 2005, Kvyat made his professional debut in motorsports winning his very first race in Sochi. During the 2005 and 2006 seasons, Kvyat participated in local events, including the Russian karting championship and cup as well as in the occasional races in Italy. Consistently demonstrating strong performances, he later moved to Italy to fully concentrate on racing in one of the most competitive environments. Kvyat’s first professional team in Italy was Franco Pellegrini’s crew.

During the winter of 2007, Kvyat’s family moved to Italy to support his commitment demonstrated by his strong results. The young driver’s parents stayed with him alternately, and he started education in Italian school, continuing to race in local tournaments. Before the start of the 2008 season, Kvyat, who had already proved himself in the Italian karting scene, signed a contract with the Zanardi factory team, led by well-known manager Dino Chiesa. Kvyat moved to the KF3 junior category and became a participant of the prestigious World Series Karting series. However, the Russian driver and Zanardi’s partnership did not result in any success. He achieved European Championship qualification but Kvyat switched teams just before the championships started, to join privateers from Morsicani Racing, who used an FA Kart chassis. In their very first race, the new partnership produced an excellent result: Kvyat, who had tested the new kart of the new team just a couple of days before the start of the championship, not only made it to the finals but was fighting for the win.

Kvyat and Morsicani Racing won several prestigious competitions, including WSK rounds and the Bridgestone Cup. The Russian defeated his Zanardi ex-teammate, Nyck de Vries, who was now a protégé of the McLaren Formula 1 team. Kvyat also won the Trofeo delle Industrie, in the final heat of which Kvyat finished ahead of Antonio Giovinazzi and Rafaele Marchiello, future members of the Ferrari Academy.

Kvyat’s European winning streak continued at the beginning of the 2009 season. The Morsicani Racing driver won the prestigious Winter Cup in the KF3 category and then added more victories to his name in the WSK rounds in Sarno and Le-Castellet. His victory in the Winter Cup was especially outstanding because he made it to the top of the podium after starting from the last position on the grid, where Kvyat found himself as a result of a clutch failure in qualifying. Kvyat first made his way into the final heat and then, starting from P3, he won that race, overtaking Carlos Sainz Jr along the way. Kvyat became one of the leaders in the WSK series, and began to draw the attention of sponsors. In the spring, he got backing from the Russian Lukoil company. However, the young driver was also noticed by Red Bull. During the summer, Kvyat participated in his first testing session in an open-wheel car, arranged by Red Bull alongside Carlos Sainz Jr, another candidate for the Red Bull Junior Team. Both drivers made a strong impression and signed contracts with the Austrian company.

Kvyat continued to race successfully in karting, taking the bronze at the 2009 European Championship one more time but was unable to reach the finals of the World Cup in Sarno. During the qualifying session slot, chosen for Kvyat by the team, it started to rain and his lap time was not fast enough in comparison with the times posted by drivers on the dry track. Improving his situation during the qualifying heats was barely possible, primarily because the team had decided to place their bets on their second driver, Italian Guliano Maria Niceta. Kvyat decided to part ways with Angelo Morsicani’s team after the World Cup and joined the Intrepid factory team. He raced for Intrepid in the last two races of the WSK season, winning the final one. It was the last win of his career in karting as the Red Bull Junior Team bosses decided to progress Kvyat to the next level, straight into the cockpit of the Formula BMW car for the 2010 season.

Formula BMW (2010)[edit]

Before the start of the European season, Kvyat travelled to Malaysia with the Eurointernational team, which prepared cars for both the Red Bull juniors, to race in the Formula BMW Asian Championship, where he won his first race. However, his first races back in Europe were not very successful. Sainz, who had more tests under the belt before his debut in open-wheelers, was the first to deliver a result. However, by mid-season, Kvyat had improved his results. In Germany, he qualified in the front row for the first time and after that he finished every race in the points, including the final round in Monza, where he finished in 2nd place, making it to the podium for the first time during his debut European season. Two weeks later, Kvyat won a race in the Asian Championships in Singapore, a positive ending to his campaign in Formula BMW. The Bavarian company had earlier announced the closing of their open-wheel programme by the end of the 2010 season, so Kvyat could not continue to compete in the series.

Toyota Racing Series (2011)[edit]

Before the start of the 2011 season in Europe, Kvyat went for a pre-season boot camp in New Zealand to race in the Toyota Racing Series. He raced in four rounds for the Victory Motor Racing team, finishing fifth in the championship with a win in the Dan Higgins Trophy at Manfeild and another five podiums.^[5]

Formula Renault (2010–2012)[edit]

After two races with Koiranen Bros. Motorsport in 2010, in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 finale at Barcelona and a fourth-place finish in the Formula Renault UK Winter Series, Kvyat, and his Formula BMW and Red Bull Junior teammate Carlos Sainz Jr., joined Koiranen for full 2011 seasons in both the Eurocup and the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup. He finished as runner-up behind Sainz, Jr. in the Northern European Cup standings with seven wins, including a hat-trick of wins at Monza. In the Eurocup he was outpaced by former Formula BMW rival Robin Frijns and Sainz, scoring two wins at Spa and the Nürburgring.

For 2012, Kvyat remained in the Formula Renault category, competing in both Formula Renault 2.0 Alps and the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 series. His debut in the Alps championship was marked with a dominating double win at Monza.^[6] In May he returned to the Eurocup, and recorded a double win in the opening round of the season at Motorland Aragón.^[7] In the Eurocup, Kvyat’s main rival was Stoffel Vandoorne, who won four races versus Kvyat’s six but he also never finished a single race below P4. Kvyat lost points at Nürburgring due to a wrong tyre choice by his team, and at Hungaroring after crashing with Oliver Rowland. The fate of the title was decided in the last round of the championship in Barcelona. Koiranen GP made a wrong call in the mixed conditions and selected wet tyres for Kvyat although the circuit was drying up after the rain; most of the other drivers on the grid started on slick tires. Thus, having lost several positions in the last part of the race, Kvyat did not score enough points to secure the title. In the Alps series, the Russian was fighting Norman Nato. Barcelona hosted the series finale just a couple of hours after the finish of the Eurocup race. Two title contenders crashed out and, having more overall points in the championship, Kvyat won the title. Russian driver remained with the Red Bull Junior Team and progressed to the GP3 Series for 2013.

GP3 and European Formula 3 (2013)[edit]

Kvyat spent 2013 competing in the GP3 Series with MW Arden and the European Formula 3 championship with Carlin Motorsport. Kvyat was a late registration for the latter series, and so he was ineligible for points. He scored five pole positions, seven podiums and a dominant win at Zandvoort. His first win saw an unusual mistake on the part of event organisers: there was no record of National Anthem of Russia present at Zandvoort, and «The Patriotic Song» by Mikhail Glinka was played instead to celebrate Kvyat’s win.^[8] After this race he was offered a contract as a Formula 1 driver by Helmut Marko, head of the Red Bull Junior Team.

Carlos Sainz Jr joined Kvyat as a teammate once again in GP3, after a mediocre season in Formula 3. The season start was a challenge for both drivers: struggling to find appropriate settings for the cars, both Kvyat and Sainz failed in the season opener. They managed to catch up with the leaders after a few rounds, once the Arden engineers mastered management of the Pirelli tyres. Kvyat scored his first podium in the series at Hungaroring in July, then won the race in Spa in August to decrease the points deficit between him and the leaders in the drivers’ standings. He went into the Abu Dhabi event being a title contender and finally won the championship in his debut year. His performance in two final feature races at Monza and Abu Dhabi was notable: Kvyat scored a pole, a win, led every lap and recorded the fastest lap, gaining the maximum points available at both races.

Formula One[edit]

Toro Rosso (2014)[edit]

Kvyat became the second driver of the Scuderia Toro Rosso (STR) Formula One team for the 2014 season, alongside Frenchman Jean-Éric Vergne.^[9] He replaced Daniel Ricciardo, who moved to parent team Red Bull Racing.^[10] As a test driver for STR, he took part in Friday practice for the final two Grands Prix of the 2013 season, in the United States and Brazil.^[11] Kvyat made his F1 debut—aged just 19—in the 2014 Australian Grand Prix, where he made it into the top ten in qualifying and finished 9th in the race, breaking Sebastian Vettel’s record as the youngest points-scorer in Formula One.^[12] He went on to score points in the Malaysian, Chinese, British and Belgian Grands Prix,^[13] finishing 15th in the World Championship. In September the organisers of the inaugural Russian Grand Prix announced their intention of naming a stand in the Sochi Autodrom after him.^[13]

Red Bull (2015–2016)[edit]

Kvyat was promoted to Red Bull for the 2015 season, to replace the quadruple world champion Sebastian Vettel, who would move to Ferrari.^[14] He took his first podium in the sport with a second-place finish at the 2015 Hungarian Grand Prix, the highest finish for a Russian driver in Formula One.^[15] As a result, Kvyat – aged 21 years, 91 days – became the second-youngest driver to record a podium finish, after Vettel.^[15] In qualifying for the 2015 Japanese Grand Prix, Kvyat crashed heavily into the barriers, ultimately flipping the car.^[16] He was uninjured, and finished 13th in the race the following day. Kvyat ended the 2015 season with 95 points and 7th place in Drivers’ World Championship, beating his race winning teammate Daniel Ricciardo by 3 points.^[17]

The 2016 season start was a challenge again, but Kvyat finished third in the third round, securing the first podium for Red Bull Racing in the new season. However, after an incident during the start of his home Grand Prix when Kvyat collided with Sebastian Vettel’s car, team management decided to demote Kvyat back to Toro Rosso.

Toro Rosso second spell (2016–2017)[edit]

In the week following the Russian Grand Prix, Red Bull announced that Toro Rosso driver Max Verstappen would be replacing Kvyat beginning from the following round, the Spanish Grand Prix, with Kvyat returning to Toro Rosso alongside Carlos Sainz Jr. According to Red Bull’s team principal Christian 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.»^[18] Kvyat spent some time adapting to the team and the new car, and returned to good shape, posting several strong performances in qualifying and races. It was announced ahead of the United States Grand Prix that Kvyat had been re-signed to Toro Rosso for 2017 after much intense speculation.^[19]

Although the opening phase of the championship looked promising, with both the car and the drivers demonstrating solid speed, regularly making it into the top ten, Kvyat’s season was plagued by multiple problems, including several retirements due to technical failures and occasional driver’s mistakes. On 26 September 2017, Toro Rosso announced the decision to replace Kvyat for the forthcoming Malaysian Grand Prix with Frenchman Pierre Gasly, following a sustained run of underwhelming form from the Russian. Whilst confirming the decision to stand Kvyat down, in a statement, Toro Rosso added that the driver switch should not be considered a permanent parting of the ways, saying «This is not a case of goodbye for our Daniil, as he still remains part of the Red Bull Family.»^[20] Kvyat returned to racing for Toro Rosso at the United States Grand Prix, following teammate Carlos Sainz Jr.’s move to Renault, and Gasly attending the 2017 Super Formula Championship finale at Suzuka. Despite securing a points finish it was not enough to secure his seat once more as Toro Rosso chose to continue with New Zealander Brendon Hartley and welcome the return of Gasly to complete the team’s pair in preparation for Mexico.^[21] In the week between the United States and Mexican Grands Prix, it was confirmed by Helmut Marko that Kvyat would not return to the team and would be released out of the Red Bull driver development programme.

On the day of the Mexican Grand Prix, Williams technical director Paddy Lowe said that Williams were considering him as an option for the 2018 season.^[22]

Ferrari (2018)[edit]

After failing to attract a race seat for the 2018 season, Kvyat became the third driver for Ferrari.^[23] While mainly focusing on the team’s simulator at Maranello, Kvyat drove the Ferrari SF71H for the first time at Fiorano, during a Pirelli wet weather test in April 2018.^[24]

Toro Rosso third spell (2019)[edit]

Kvyat rejoined Toro Rosso as a driver for the 2019 season, replacing the Red Bull-bound Pierre Gasly. This saw Kvyat race for the team he debuted in Formula One for a third time in his career.^[25] He initially raced alongside Thai driver Alexander Albon, who moved up from the FIA Formula 2 Championship.^[26] Kvyat put in strong performances during the first half of the season, achieving six points finishes from twelve races. However, he suffered consecutive retirements in China and Azerbaijan, both as a result of collision damage. His points finishes included 7th place in Monaco, a 9th place in Britain after starting from the back row of the grid and a shock 3rd-place podium finish at the rain-affected German Grand Prix. This came after a strategy call to pit for dry-weather tyres before the rest of the field and an overtake on Lance Stroll. This marked Kvyat’s third career podium, and Toro Rosso’s first podium since winning the 2008 Italian Grand Prix.^[27]

During the summer break prior to the Belgian Grand Prix, Kvyat’s teammate Albon was promoted to Red Bull in August to replace Pierre Gasly, who was demoted back to Toro Rosso. Some questioned the decision not to promote Kvyat instead, as he had outperformed Albon during the first half of the season. Red Bull justified the move by saying they wished to trial Albon for the remainder of the season to decide who would partner Max Verstappen at the team in 2020.^[28] Kvyat produced an excellent drive in Belgium to finish in 7th place after starting in 19th due to power unit penalties. His third retirement of the season came at the next race in Italy after suffering an oil leak. Kvyat recorded three more points finishes in the remainder of the season; two 10th-place finishes in Japan and Brazil, and a 9th-place finish in Abu Dhabi. He also finished in the points in Mexico and the United States, but was handed post-race penalties for causing last-lap collisions in both races, dropping him out of the points. Kvyat finished the season in 13th place in the championship with 37 points.

AlphaTauri (2020)[edit]

AlphaTauri (previously Toro Rosso) retained Kvyat and Gasly for the 2020 season.^[29] Kvyat retired from the first race of the season (the 2020 Austrian Grand Prix) due to a suspension failure. He received his first point of the season at the Styrian Grand Prix with a tenth-place finish.^[30] He retired at the British Grand Prix after a heavy crash into the barriers that was caused by a tyre failure.^[31] Kvyat finished fourth in the 2020 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix after a succession of overtakes on Alexander Albon, Sergio Pérez and Charles Leclerc after the Safety car restart.

The Russian finished the season 14th in the standings with 32 points, compared to team-mate Pierre Gasly who scored 75 points and finished tenth.^[32] His contract was not renewed and Yuki Tsunoda replaced Kvyat at AlphaTauri for 2021.^[33]

Alpine (2021)[edit]

In 2021, Kvyat was the reserve driver for Alpine, alongside Zhou Guanyu.^[34]

FIA World Endurance Championship[edit]

Kvyat was entered to drive for G-Drive Racing in the LMP2 class in the FIA World Endurance Championship, alongside James Allen and Rene Binder.^[35] However, G-Drive withdrew on 6 March, two weeks before the first race of the season, in response to conditions introduced by the FIA following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.^[1][2] Kvyat called the sanctions and restrictions against Russian athletes “unfair and discriminatory”.^[3]

NASCAR[edit]

In December 2017 Kvyat tested a NASCAR Whelen Euro Series racecar at a young driver test.^[36] Throughout 2021 and 2022, Kvyat attended multiple NASCAR Cup Series events including at Martinsville Speedway and Road America,^[37][38] and appearing in multiple teams’ garages.^[39]

Kvyat is due to make three starts in the NASCAR Cup Series for Team Hezeberg, with his car using the same number he used in Formula One, 26. He made his NASCAR debut in the 2022 Verizon 200 at the Brickyard at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course, finishing in 36th position after retiring from the race with suspension issues.^[39][40][41]

Personal life[edit]

Kvyat lived in Ufa, Russia, until 2000 when his family moved to Moscow. This is where he first raced go-karts before first moving to Western Europe and racing competitively.^[42] Kvyat currently lives in Monaco. In addition to his native Russian, he is also fluent in Italian, Spanish, and English, and has some ability in speaking Finnish and Dutch.^[43][44][45]

Rules introduced for the 2014 Formula One World Championship allowed the drivers to pick their own racing numbers that they will carry with them for the rest of their careers. When asked about which number he wanted, Kvyat revealed that 26 was the number he had chosen as he had no previous connection to it, and that he wanted to make it successful.^[46]

Kvyat’s hobbies include table tennis, football, wakeboarding and skiing.^[47] He also likes heavy metal music, and has cited Metallica’s «Whiskey in the Jar» cover and Motörhead’s «Ace of Spades» as his two favourite songs.^[48] He plays the guitar.^[49]

Until November 2015, Kvyat was one of the few drivers in motor racing to have an FIA Super Licence, but not a regular driving licence in his native Russia.^[50]

In January 2017, Kvyat began dating Kelly Piquet, daughter of three-time F1 World Champion Nelson Piquet. The couple’s first child, a daughter, was born in July 2019.^[51] The pair split in December 2019.^[52]

Daniil Kvyat: biography

Daniil Kvyat is a Russian racer, pilot of Formula 1 of the Toro Rosso team. This team is a part of the Austrian concern Red Bull.

The youngest and most famous Russian racer was born on April 26, 1994 in Ufa. It is known that his father Vyacheslav Kvyat is an entrepreneur, a former deputy of the Kurultai of the Republic of Bashkortostan. At school, little Daniil seriously was interested in tennis and often won at various championships.

By nationality, the future racing driver, who is known all over the world, is Russian. Nevertheless, multinational blood flows in the veins of the guy: Daniil’s grandfather by maternal side is Tatar; his father’s grandfather is Bashkir. The name of Daniil is of Polish origin («kvyat» — color). The guy is proud of being Russian.

For the first time the boy entered the carting center, when he moved to Moscow together with his parents. The father took his son to a new carting center. Nine-year-old Daniel immediately took this sport seriously. Since then, the boy attended it very often and in one day was able to break the track record.

Carting

Soon Daniil Kvyat, being behind the wheel of a professional car, and met the coaches Pavel Baramykov and Pavel Guskov. The first victory in the career of Daniil was in Sochi at the Christmas Cup in 2005. In the same year, Daniil Kvyat participated in the Russian Carting Championship (Rocket) and took the 12th place.

In 2006 at the Moscow Championship (Rocket) the young rider managed to take the 13th place. Thus, 2005 can be called the year when the active sports biography of the racing driver begins. Well-known functionaries from the programs, which support promising young racers, noticed the boy.

As a member of Franco Pellegrini, the racing driver participated in the championship of Italy. To participate in MiniKart championships it was necessary to constantly fly from Moscow to Europe. That is why the Kvyat family moved to Rome in 2007. Soon the representatives of the Lukoil Racing team drew attention to the promising sportsman, including him in their international program LUKOIL Drivers Support Program.

«Red Bull» Team

In 2009 Kvyat won racings. Daniil took the first place in the Winter Cup (KF3), the second — in the international series of WSK (KF3) and the third — in the European Championship. In addition, Daniil Kvyat managed to come first to the finish at the racing competitions of Margutti Trophy and Industrie Trophy.

In 2009, the head of “Lukoil Racing” Evgeny Malinovsky shared a story about the successes of Daniil Kvyat with Helmut Marko, the co-owner of the Red Bull team. After that, Daniil Kvyat passed physical and psychological tests to get into the youth program of the Red Bull Junior Team.

The debut of Kvyat took place in 2010 on the Sepang track in Malaysia at the Formula BMW Pacific race. Daniil participated as a part of the Eurointernational team and took the 19th place in the first race and 5th in the second. But Kvyat was an invited racer, so he did not earn points. Gradually, the Russian is adapting after the transition from carting, improving his results. In eight races, he managed to win twice and five times to climb the pedestal.

At the competitions of Formula BMW Europe Daniil Kvyat had 16 races. In the last race he came second and climbed the pedestal. In general for this season the young racer scored 138 points and was on the 10th place at the European championship. Asian Championship 2010 was not less successful: Kvyat had three wins, two pedestals and two poles.

In 2011, Daniil Kvyat moved to Formula Renault 2.0. In the first race of the North European Cup, which was held in Hockenheim, the driver won. The results of the season were successful for the Russian racing driver, he became the vice-champion of the North European Cup. Kvyat lost to his opponent 48 points. Participation in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, a prestigious continental championship, allowed Daniel to take the third place. And the athlete showed himself from the best side at Formula-Toyota races, taking fourth place in International Trophy.

The next year of the Formula Renault series became more successful for the Russian racer: Daniil won the second place in the Eurocup, and also won the Formula Renault 2.0 Alps. The achievements of the Russian athlete were highly appreciated in his homeland, because in March 2013 he was recognized as the best racer of the Russian Federation and awarded the «Pilot of the Year» award from the Russian Automobile Federation.

«Formula 1»

At the first Grand Prix Kvyat showed comparable with a stronger partner results, and also showed the ability to save the car, avoiding accidents. In July 2013, the Russian athlete participated in youth tests of the Formula 1 competition driving Toro Rosso car in Silverstone, where he impressed the bosses from Italy. This season, Daniel Kvyat lost to Jean-Eric Vernue in the individual competition, but significantly bypassed him in the qualification. In October 2013, the team «Toro Rosso» announced that Kvyat in the season-2014 will be their main pilot, and his partner will be Frenchman Jean-Eric Verne.

In 2014, in total, the racer took part in 14 competitions and the best results he showed in Australia, Great Britain and Belgium (9th place). In the individual race of the championship «F-1» the Russian takes 15th place, having 8 points.

The leadership was pleased with the pilot. It was decided to renew his contract till 2015, and then there was a sensation. After German racing driver Sebastian Vettel decided to leave Red Bull, it became known that the place of the famous athlete from Toro Rosso (a subsidiary of the Red Bull) is taken by not experienced Jean-Eric Vernueu, but by Daniil.

In July 2015 Kvyat went down in history, rising to the podium of the «Formula 1». He came to the finish line second at the Grand Prix competitions in Hungary, showing the best result among Russians in the history of the «royal race».

The season of 2016 began for Daniil extremely unsuccessfully: at the races in Australia his car stopped, not allowing to fulfill all the plans. Nevertheless, in Bahrain, Kvyat had a good race, in which he scored points, and in China, the Russian managed to take the third place.

The starting point of Russian failures is considered to be the Grand Prix of Russia in Sochi, where Kvyat started the eighth, and was also remembered for striking a car of Sebastian Vettel, four times world champion of Formula 1. Such a «maneuver» led to other clashes. The Australian pilot Daniel Riccardo, who was Daniel Kvyat’s partner in the Red Bull team, also suffered from such a situation.

As a result, Kvyat was fined (10-second Stop & Go) and scored no points. After the race, the pilots began to quarell, trying to figure out what had happened. Later Kvyat apologized for his actions before Vettel, as well as other participants of the competition.

In 2017, Daniel again participated for the Toro Rosso team. In the media, they continue to talk about the failures of the Russian racing driver, as he again could not reach the finish line at the main races in Monaco, Baku and the Austrian Shpilberg.

Victory at GP3

The year 2013 has become a landmark for Daniil. The Russian racer became the champion, winning the final stage of the GP3 series in Abu Dhabi. Kvyat is the first man who stepped out of the car of this series to the place of the prize-winning pilot of «Formula 1».

Throughout the race, the Russian was in the leading position. On November 2, 2013 in the Saturday race, he demonstrated a successful result. The earned points guaranteed him a title of the champion regardless of the outcome of the Sunday race.

In many ways, such excellent results depended on the failures of other participants in the sporting event. At the start, Koiranen GP Kevin Korjus and Jimmy Erickson had problems. Nevertheless, Korjus managed to change the situation, but from the third place he went to the last.

The Spanish car racer Carmen Horda already in the first turns made a mistake and broke the suspension, a safety car appeared on the road. Restart was given on the third turn, but Kvyat had a leading position, and Nick Yelloli from the British Carlin came second.

Certain failures at the competition allowed Daniil to gradually strengthen his leadership. Briton Alexander Sims won Nick Yelloli, his team-mate in Carlin team, and tried to get ahead, but at the same time he lost to the Russian rider.

Personal life

Until recently, Daniil Kvyat’s personal life was a clean sheet. Many were interested in the life of the famous racing driver, trying to find out the name of his girlfriend, and also to find out if the heart of the best Russian driver of Formula-1 was free. Kvyat said in an interview that all his free time and all thoughts are focused on just one thing — competitions.

Nevertheless, Daniel has his own idea of an ideal woman. He believes that she must be sociable, cheerful and open-minded. Soon he began relations with Kelly Piquet, the daughter of the three-time winner of Formula 1 Nelson Piquet. Daniil confirmed his relations with Kelly, having published in Instagram their joint photo.

Daniil Kvyat has a hobby. He is a longtime hockey fan, but also likes tennis, mountain skiing, football. He regularly visits gym. The driver knows English, Spanish, Italian well, speaks Finnish well.

In 2015, users of Tumblr and other social networks discussed a comic video, the main character of which became Daniil Kvyat. Under the scenario, the racing driver came to the driving test to get Russian driving license.

Daniil Kvyat biography

Daniil Kvyat gained a surprise promotion to Toro Rosso’s F1 squad for the 2014 season.

The Russian driver made his way to Formula One as part of Red Bull’s Young Driver Programme. He was chosen ahead of fellow Red Bull junior drivers Antonio Felix da Costa and Carlos Sainz Jnr to get the chance.

Toro Rosso had given Kvyat his first run in an F1 car at the Silverstone Young Drivers’ Test in July 2013. Just three months later he was confirmed as Daniel Ricciardo’s replacement for the following season. That made Kvyat the second Russian driver to gain a place in F1 following Vitaly Petrov’s lead.

Kvyat was born in Ufa, 1,000km east of the Russian capital Moscow. He began karting at the age of eight and by 2010 he’d made the transition to car racing, competing in Formula BMW championships.

Following a stint in New Zealand’s Toyota Racing Series he returned to Europe to compete in Formula Renault 2.0. He ended a successful debut season in the category second in the Northern European Cup, behind Sainz Jnr, and also placed third in the Eurocup series.

In 2012 he claimed the Formula Renault 2.0 ALPS title following a controversial final-round clash with Norman Nato. Kvyat went into the final race at the Circuit de Catalunya three points ahead in the championship, but when Nato tried to pass him for the lead on lap three the pair collided and retired, handing Kvyat the title.

The Eurocup championship was also settled in a final-round decider at the Circuit de Catalunya, but this time Kvyat missed out. This was despite title rival Stoffel Vandoorne retiring early on, leaving Kvyat needing only to convert his pole position start into a podium finish to claim the crown.

However Kvyat was handed a drive-through penalty for changing his tyres too late on the grid before the race started as the field hedged their bets on a damp track. Worse, the wet weather tyres he had changed to proved unsuitable as the track dried and he fell to eighth at the chequered flag. Although Kvyat had scored seven wins to his rival’s four, the more consistent Vandoorne prevailed by ten points.

For 2013 the Red Bull-backed driver conducted a dual campaign in the F1-supporting GP3 series and as a guest driver in the European Formula Three championship, in which he was ineligible for points.

After being confirmed as Toro Rosso’s new driver Kvyat won the GP3 title in the next race in Abu Dhabi, beating rival Facu Ragalia with one race to spare.

Kvyat also made a successful debut in European F3, taking a podium finish in his first weekend at Hockenheim. He returned to take three pole positions and three second place finishes at the Red Bull Ring, then scored a victory at Zandvoort, one of only two races that year won by a Volkswagen-powered driver.

2014

Kvyat acquitted himself well with his promotion to F1 and had already earned a continued stay at Toro Rosso when the opportunity for further advancement arose. When Sebastian Vettel decided to leave Red Bull for Ferrari, Kvyat was promoted in place of the world champion, and instead of his more experienced team mate Jean-Eric Vergne.

Although Vergne scored more points during the course of the season, Kvyat’s qualifying record was better. And both drivers suffered from the chronic unreliability of the STR9 and, in particular, the Renault power unit.

Nonetheless Kvyat scored points on his debut in Australia, becoming the youngest driver ever to do so at the time, and reached Q3 on his first visit to Monaco.

Extra attention surrounded him when F1 made its first visit to Russia and Kvyat delivered with his best qualifying performance yet, lining up fifth. However in the race both drivers struggled with their tyres.

However by then it had already become known that he would be returning in an even more competitive car next year.

2015

Kvyat out-scored new team mate Daniel Ricciardo over the course of their first season together as team mates at Red Bull, though he enjoyed the rub of the green at times, particularly when the team had its highest-scoring finishes at Monaco and Hungary.

The team had a frustrating start to the season and if matters improved at all over the coming months they did so only very slowly. Kvyat failed to start the first race of the year in Australia due to a gearbox problem, and five races in he was yet to improve on his highest finish from the Toro Rosso days.

That changed in Monaco where he lined up behind Ricciardo on the grid but got around his delayed team mate at the first corner and went on to take fourth. He followed it up with sixth at Silverstone – a result which might have been better had he not spun during the wet part of the race.

His best race of the year came at Hungary – second behind Vettel’s Ferrari. By his own admission it was a generous reward for one of his less impressive drives, but the counterpoint to that came in Singapore where two Safety Car appearances confined him to sixth. But it had been a solid first year with a top team, and Kvyat’s services were duly retained.

2016

They were not retained for very long. Kvyat got his season off to a bad start when he struggled with the short-lived elimination qualifying format, producing sub-par results on the two occasions it was used.

Matters improved in China where he reached the podium. But it didn’t escape Red Bull’s notice that team mate Ricciardo had qualified on the front row and been leading until he suffered a puncture. Then came Russia.

Kvyat’s home race was a nightmare. Heading into the first braking zone on lap one lap he clattered into Vettel, triggering a multi-car accident which also spoiled the races of Ricciardo and Red Bull stablemate Sainz. Kvyat thne finished Vettel’s race off by dumping him into a barrier at turn four. A few days after the race came the stunning news from Red Bull’s Helmut Marko: Kvyat was being demoted to Toro Rosso and Max Verstappen promoted in his place.

This was tough on Kvyat: as well as taking a blow to his self-esteem he was now lumbered with a much less competitive car and a spirited team mate who had been driving it all season and proceeded to run rings around him. Nonetheless Red Bull showed some continued faith in Kvyat, keeping him at Toro Rosso for 2017.

2017

Kvyat’s troubled return to Toro Rosso continued. Sainz consistently out-scored him and six races before the end of the season Kvyat was dropped. Rookie driver Pierre Gasly was brought in to replace him, though Toro Rosso stressed Kvyat would remain part of Red Bull. He spent 2018 working as Ferrari’s simulator driver.

2019

The team made good on the claim at the end of 2018 when Toro Rosso changed its driver line-up again. Gasly was promoted to Red Bull, and Brendon Hartley lost his drive. New driver Alexander Albon was hired, and to complement the rookie Kvyat’s was rehired. However at mid-season when Red Bull decided to replace Gasly, it was Albon they called up instead of Kvyat, despite him having scored Toro Rosso’s first podium for 11 years at the Hockenheimring.

Nonetheless Kvyat was retained for another season in 2020, when Toro Rosso rebranded as AlphaTauri.
