Encyclopedic overview

Daniil Vyacheslavovich Kvyat (Russian: Даниил Вячесла́вович Квят, IPA: [dənʲɪˈil vʲɪtɕɪˈslavəvʲɪtɕ ˈkvʲat]; born 26 April 1994) is a Russian racing driver who competes in Super GT for JLOC. Kvyat competed in Formula One from 2014 to 2020.

Born in Ufa and raised in Moscow, Kvyat began competitive kart racing aged 10, before moving to Italy in 2007 to pursue a professional career. After winning several international karting titles, Kvyat progressed to junior formulae in 2010. He claimed 23 victories in Formula Renault 2.0, finishing runner-up to Stoffel Vandoorne in the Eurocup and winning the Alps Series, both in 2012 with Koiranen. He then won the GP3 Series in his rookie season with Arden. A member of the Red Bull Junior Team since 2010, Kvyat signed with Toro Rosso in 2014, making his Formula One debut at the Australian Grand Prix, finishing ninth to become the then-youngest points-scorer in Formula One history, aged 19. He was promoted to parent team Red Bull in 2015, achieving his maiden podium finish at the Hungarian Grand Prix and outscoring teammate Daniel Ricciardo.
