With AlphaTauri announcing that Yuki Tsunoda will take Daniil Kvyat’s place in the team, many have suggested that this could very well mean the end of Kvyat’s F1 career for good. However, Kvyat thinks otherwise and he has explained why as quoted by Motorsport Magazin Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgzcJNPFS2TCRhEFQ254AaABCQ 0:00 - Daniil Kvyat’s “Good Basis” For Return To F1 In 2022 2:03 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Daniil Kvyat’s “Good Basis” For Return To F1 In 2022 Kvyat started off by pointing out his meteoric rise that led to an opportunity in Formula 1 straight after Formula 3 “My career went very quickly. Everything happened so quickly that after the first session in F1, I didn't even really understand what was happening. I think I've always lacked a bit of experience in Formula 1. I've had a tough couple of years. When I came back, I took a completely different approach. I started all over again, a bit like a rookie” He then analyzed his performance during the 2020 season “It was up and down for me this year. I found my strength again in the second half of the year. I never gave up and kept fighting and earning the team valuable points. Not as many as Pierre, of course, but he did in Monza also win a race” He then elaborated on why he has a good reason to return in 2022 “The last few races and qualifying sessions have been very strong. This is a good basis for a return in 2022” He also added how his 2020 teammate Pierre Gasly made things more difficult for him “Pierre made it very difficult for me this year and his victory somehow overshadowed all the good things I did. I now feel like a much more complete driver who still performs 100 percent even under high pressure. That was a problem for me in the past” “I have learned a lot and especially this year I've seen some progress. Only now do I feel ready to always drive at the highest level. If I were given the chance in a top team, it would be a completely different story” He further elaborated on why he could be invaluable in 2022 to sum up his words “I want to come back because I know that I could fight for the world championship in the right car. I have no doubt. There are new rules and the teams need someone with experience. And I can guarantee that experience is really very important, especially when new rules come in” Fast Feed AlphaTauri’s new driver Yuki Tsunoda has stated that “like most racing drivers, it has always been” his “goal to race in Formula 1, so” he’s “very happy” He also realizes that he “will be carrying the hopes of a lot of Japanese F1 fans next year and” he “will be doing” his “best for them too” AlphaTauri team principal Franz Tost feels that Tsunoda “has demonstrated the right mix of racing aggression and good technical understanding” He further explained that “during the test in Imola in November when he drove” their “2018 car, his lap times were very consistent over a race simulation, He progressed throughout the day and gave” their “engineers useful feedback” Takahiro Hachigo, CEO of Honda “would like to congratulate Yuki on making the step to Formula 1” He added that “it is a dream come true for him and a confirmation of all the efforts Honda is making for its young drivers' programme” He further knows that “it won't be easy to compete at the top of motorsport, but” they “believe in” Tsunoda’s “abilities” Red Bull’s test driver during the Young Driver Test Sebastian Buemi “really enjoyed being back in the car and having a good day” McLaren’s Daniel Ricciardo feels that “Lewis Hamilton. He is, of course, one of the best three drivers” He added that “Max Verstappen is one of them and the way Charles Leclerc drives his Ferrari also makes him a candidate, but he still made some mistakes” “So maybe he doesn't belong to the top three yet” and Ricciardo “would probably choose” himself “among the top three” F2 championship runner-up Calum Illott is “very excited to become the new Ferrari test driver. There is still a lot to learn, 2021 will be an exciting year and an important step towards a regular Formula 1 seat” Former F1 driver Mika Hakkinen pointed out that “Mercedes stopped development on their car some time ago, switching their attention to the 2021 and 2022 car projects, and” he suspects “this has played its part in them not being quite as dominant at the end of year” He, however, added that “none of this takes away from Max’s great drive” during the final race in Abu Dhabi Sir Frank Williams, the founder and former owner of the Williams F1 team, has been admitted to hospital with an undisclosed health issue Was Kvyat’s 2020 season overshadowed by Pierre’s race victory?
