Daniil Kvat: nationality. Biography of Daniil Kwiat

In 2014, in the Formula-1 first came Daniel Kvyat, whose nationality is Russian. There was a time when no one would believe that he could become a prize pilot. Currently, Daniel is considered the best rookie in racing sports, and in the team of his champions took it Red Bull Racing. Yes, not somehow, but the vacancy of a combat pilot for the upcoming 2015.

Daniil Kvyat - biography, parents and personal life

The future sportsman was born in Bashkortostan in 1994, in the city of Ufa, on April 26. Almost all the childhood of the famous rider passed there. His father, Vyacheslav is an entrepreneur, in the past was a member of the Kurultay of the Republic of Bashkortostan, and his mother's name is Zulfiya.

At school the boy was fond of tennis and sometimes became a prize-winner of school tournaments.

The family moved to Moscow. Here he first came to the karting center - together with his father. As you know from the interview with Daniel, Kwiat argues that all other hobbies at this point have lost meaning - at the wheel of the map he fell in love with speed. At that time, the boy was 9 years old, and since that time he became not just a guest of the autodrome, but his regular visitor, and in due course he broke the track record.

Soon the boy found his first coaches here. They were Pavel Guskov and Pavel Baramykov. Under their sensitive guidance, Daniel first sat behind the wheel of a real map. At the start of his first career in the race athlete went to the Christmas Cup of Sochi for karting ("Mini") and immediately became its winner. In the same year 2005 Kvat became a participant of the Russian Karting Championship ("Rocket") - here he won the 12th place in the ranking. The result of the 2006 season is the 13th place in the Moscow Championship, the category "Rocket".

At the same time, the 12-year-old boy entered the Franco Pellegrini team and began participating with him in the Italian MiniKart carting championship. Participation in the championships in Italy caused the need for regular flights of the athlete from Russia to Italy. In the end, thanks to the parental support, the boy moved to Rome.

Italy

In Rome, Daniel Kvyat, a nationality that only helped, began to go to school and continued his performances in karting. Staying in Italy, unlike Russia, gave the young man the opportunity to constantly improve his skills and acquire the necessary skills. The young athlete was helped by the existing system of training riders in the country. In Europe, novice pilots are given the opportunity to choose their own coaches and immediately on the race track to consolidate the acquired knowledge. In Russia, on the contrary: unfortunately, here pilots are almost always left to themselves.

2007 in the career of Daniil Kwiat became preparatory to the 2008 season. In 2008, the athlete began to work as part of the team Dino Chiesa, but on the eve of the European Championships it was decided to move to another team - Angelo Morsicani. According to the pilot himself, participation in the European Championships, where he was able to win the 3rd place, was a turning point in his career.

At this time, the beginning of the rider drew the attention of the leadership of the team "Lukoil Racing". As a result, it was included in the international program LUKOIL Drivers Support Program.

2009 for Daniil Kwiat became a rich event and rich victories. He managed to become the winner of the Winter Cup (KF3), to take the second place in the international series WSK (KF3), playing for the Morsicani Racing team, and again to take the third step in the European Championships (KF3). In addition to all this, he was able to come first to the finish in the races Industrie Trophy and Margutti Trophy.

Red Bull: youth team

In the summer of 2009, Daniil Kwiat's biography was enlarged with a landmark event.

Evgeny Malinovsky, the head of Lukoil Racing, talked about the successful beginning athlete Helmut Marko, co-owner of the Red Bull project and simultaneously the main hunter for talents in the field of modern motorsport. After several successful starts in the Asia-Pacific Championship, Helmut Marko drew attention to the Russian, who was invited to join the Red Bull support program for young pilots.

Formula BMW

Beginning in August, before the contract was signed, Daniil Kviat, whose nationality was Russian, went through both psychological and physical testing.

Based on the results, he entered the racing program of the Red Bull Junior Team and became in 2010 to compete in the Formula BMW team Eurointernational. Here for 8 races, Kwiat was able to win two wins and win 5 podiums.

What does it mean to become part of the Red Bull Junior team? No more worrying about the sources of funding, so you can devote all your free time to racing only. At the same time, the company's management services and money need to be paid seriously: riders who submit to an Austrian company are wholly at the disposal of Helmut Marko, losing the right to choose a career path. You can not explain getting into the team with simple luck, although the biography of Daniil Kwiat has such cases, - here only someone who is not taken, only those who deserve it. At the same time, it's easier to fly out of the program than to get into it, - your skills must then be confirmed every new season.

Performances on Formula Renault 2.0

Daniil Kvyat, whose nationality did not matter in the younger series, never gave cause for Marco to doubt himself. In 2011, he managed to win the title of vice-champion of the North European Formula-Renault Cup 2.0, while taking bronze at the European Championships.

In the next season of the series Formula-Renault 2.0 Kvate won the second place, from the first it was separated by an annoying mistake team. Nevertheless, his success was noticed, and he received an increase - he was transferred to a step higher, in GP3. Kvyat Daniil, a Russian national, was noticed by the Russian Automobile Federation and named the pilot of the year in Russia.

Successful debut of champion in GP3 2013

In the GP3 2013 Kwiatu catastrophically unlucky: the car did not want to go, then the rubber quickly worn out. But all this became only an occasion to show the athlete's thoughtful approach to work.

Together with the specialists of the MW Arden team, he was able to understand the reasons for the failures, and the tires of the car ceased to be destroyed in several circles. As a result, the lagging behind points Daniil Kvat (the nationality of the pilots in the races was very different) began to win in the races. The main thing is that he got the championship title in Abu Dhabi, snatching victory from the Argentinean Facundo Regalia.

Striking hit in Toro Rosso

Another step in the career of the Russian was an invitation to the "Queen of Racing". There suddenly vacated the vacancy: from the championship and the team Red Bull went Mark Webber, where his place was taken by Daniel Riccardo. Thus, in Toro Rosso, a subsidiary of Red Bull, a place was vacated. He was taken very well in the difficult season GP3 Ufimtsev. He became the first pilot who from GP3 moved to the place of the racing racer of the "Royal races".

The validity of the choice of the leadership of the company Red Bull Daniil Kvyat proved in practice. At the beginning of the season-2014 he was able to finish the 9th, ahead of the more experienced team-mate in the team of Jean-Eric Vern. Further successes of Daniel in the race showed the world that in Formula-1 came a professional and talented pilot.

In March, Daniil Kvat, whose domestic team of fans is growing every day, is recognized as the best racer of Russia in 2013.

And, finally, the Formula-1

Traditionally, the Red Bull wards are gaining experience in the youth team of Formula 1 at least a couple of seasons. But suddenly in October it became known that Sebastian Vettel leaves Red Bull Racing. The vacancy was immediately taken by Daniil Kwiat.

He became a pilot of Formula 1 in 20 years - a unique case, the majority goes to this years. He was helped by his obsession with races, hours spent together with engineers to solve emerging problems, willingness to spend all his free time on training.

It can be confidently asserted that Daniil Kvyat will still show himself and take advantage of the given chance - surely will update a couple of records.
