The Russian torpedo celebrates its 26th birthday today!

It's the Torpedo's birthday today. Daniil Kvyat can blow out 26 candles today. Coincidentally, because the number he's racing with in Formula 1 is also 26. The Russian of AlphaTauri has had an impressive career, having been promoted and relegated several times.

The current driver of AlphaTauri is most linked to the events of the past four years. He started as a Red Bull Racing driver in 2016, but by the end of 2016 he was already driving with Toro Rosso. In 2017 it turned out that there was no place at all for Kvyat in the Red Bull group, after which he decided to sign for Ferrari as a development driver.

After a year on the sidelines, Toro Rosso knocked on the door again to see if he wanted to join the team in 2019 alongside Alex Albon. He was interested in that, and he's been riding with the rest ever since. His highlight of that season was undoubtedly his podium in Germany. Next season at AlphaTauri the Russian will ride together with Pierre Gasly, and there will undoubtedly be high expectations on Kvyat's shoulders.
