Daniel Kvyat is the clear example of what could have been and was not… at least in Formula 1. The Russian driver currently competes in the world resistance with ‘Prema’ and will be the official pilot of Lamborghini in 2024.
His future will be far from ‘The Great Circus’, where he had the opportunity to join Ferraribut decided to stay Red Bull due to the potential he had after finishing in 2015 ahead of ricciardoand achieve a podium in the Chinese Grand Prix of 2016.
However, Kvyat refused those of ‘Maranello’… a decision that he soon regretted. Just one race after his third-place finish, Daniil had an accident and collided with Sebastian Vettel.
That failure led him to abandon the race… and also the starting position in the Austrian team. To the next Grand Prix, Red Bull dropped Toro Rosso and bet on Max Verstappen.
“Such is life, sometimes you get stabbed in the backIt’s normal,” he said. “I was performing really well., had just gotten another podium and also had a proposal to run for Ferrari to replace Kimi, this was happening from behind”, he assumed in ‘Track Limits’.
Since then Kvyat hoped that Horner would trust him againbut with the passage of time he realized his desires became an ordeal: “I felt really betrayed at that moment.. Was a stab in the back“, he impinged.
His time with Red Bull’s inferior team, Toro Rosso, which was renamed AlphaTauriended in 2020.
“I have another good career in motorsport, so a part of me is very grateful to Red Bull and another part of me is very unhappy about it,” he said.
