Two Russian former Formula 1 drivers are returning to international-level competition in 2023. The 28-year-old had planned to race at Le Mans last year, but both Kvyat and the Russian team G-Drive came up against new FIA rules requiring Russians to denounce their country. No longer with a Russian team, sports.ru speculates that Kvyat agreed to sign the FIA’s requirements – including the removal of any Russian flag from his entry. Kvyat also hailed the top American tin-top series Nascar for allowing him to contest a couple of races last year. “NASCAR set a great example and acted like a sport,” he said.
