About Daniil

Born on April 26, 1994 in Ufa, Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia, Daniil Kvyat first stepped into a kart when he was just eight. After being spotted racing at his local ‘Kart-land’, Kvyat began racing competitively in 2005. Twelve months later, he and his family moved to Rome, Italy, and Daniil started competing in the Italian Championship.

Last year, the Russian finished third in the KF3 European Championship and runner-up in the WSK International Series. For 2010, he will race in the Formula BMW Pacific season and has won a place on the Red Bull Junior Team. He made his Formula BMW debut in Sepang, Malaysia, alongside Carlos Sainz Jr.

Daniil isn’t just a skilled motor-racer, he is also a keen skier and tennis player. However, his main passion away from the track is football, and he is an avid AS Roma fan.
