Russian Formula 1 driver Daniil Kvyat has expressed his gratitude for being able to compete in the 2020 season despite the challenges posed by the ongoing global pandemic.

In a recent interview, the AlphaTauri driver acknowledged the uncertainty and disruptions caused by the COVID-19 crisis, and emphasized the significance of being able to race this year. “It’s already a big thing that we’re allowed to race this year,” Kvyat said.

The 26-year-old driver, who returned to the Red Bull family last year after being dropped by the team in 2017, has had a bumpy career in Formula 1. Despite facing setbacks and criticisms throughout his career, Kvyat remains determined and optimistic about his future in the sport.

“It’s been a rollercoaster, and it continues to be a rollercoaster, but you learn to manage it and get used to it,” Kvyat said. The Russian driver’s resilience and perseverance have been evident in his performances on the track, as he continues to push himself and strive for success.

Kvyat’s positive attitude and gratitude for the opportunity to race this season are reflective of the challenges faced by all Formula 1 teams and drivers in the midst of the pandemic. With races being rescheduled and held without spectators, the sport has had to adapt to a new normal in order to continue.

As the season progresses, Kvyat and his fellow drivers will continue to face uncertainty and challenges, but their passion for racing and determination to succeed will drive them forward. Despite the obstacles, Kvyat remains focused on the task at hand and is grateful for the opportunity to do what he loves.

“It’s already a big thing that we’re allowed to race this year,” Kvyat said. As the Russian driver continues to navigate the twists and turns of his career, fans can expect to see him giving his all on the track and striving for success in the 2020 Formula 1 season.
