What Is Daniil Kvyat Up To Now?

The community knows the Red Bull Racing Formula One team upholds a strict standard for themselves. And part of that is making sure all drivers meet their standards. However, if a driver doesn’t deliver as per expectations, they are quick to find a replacement. Unfortunately, Daniil Kvyat was a victim of that in 2016. His stint with AlphaTauri came to an end when Yuki Tsunoda replaced him in 2021.

Kvyat has been spending his time well though.
