Daniil Kvyat will race with an Italian license and ‘il Tricolore’ on his overalls as he races at Le Mans with Lamborghini. “Kvyat will be at Lamborhini under an Italian racing license to avoid the sanctions against Russian athletes,” he added. Italy’s La Gazzetta dello Sport said Kvyat’s move to Italy occurred when he was just 11 “to cultivate his great passion for racing”. Kvyat was then “shortly followed by the family”, who settled in Rome. The sports newspaper said it is even possible that the Italian national anthem would now play for Kvyat in the event of a sports car win.
