#Daniil kyvat

[blorbocedes]

Chinese Grand Prix 2016 cool-down room. everyone remembers the iconic seb blowing up at kyvat but before that he actually congratulates nico in german, needs to get his attention like 4 times. (there's also a longstanding belief that nico spoke in german in cooldown rooms only to mind game lewis, but it's actually seb who would start speaking to nico in german first)

rough translation because nico's voice is muffled and seb swallows half his words:

seb: (FOUR TIMES) nico, you won't be able to sleep tonight huh? - you won't be able to sleep tonight, 'cause you're so well rested - I said, you won't be able to sleep tonight, you're so well rested, it was so quiet up front/you were so untroubled up front...

nico: something was possible today lol

and then seb turns to kyvat to yell at him in English 😭😭 (and here's Nico's reaction)

#we used to have sico podiums. god we used to be a real country #poor Akira had to suffer through seb's accent #feel free to correct me on the translation if you have a clearer understanding!! #nico rosberg #sebastian vettel #Chinese Grand Prix 2016 #sico my beloved #the German twincest #Daniil kyvat

Male F1 fans spent more time debating the ethics of Kelly Piquet homie hopping Kvyat to Verstappen than they ever did debating how Mazepin should've been dealt with after his SA incident which leads me to my next point ; Why male F1 fans get absolutely ZERO bitche-

Red Bull and its everchanging driver lineup will forever be interesting to me. The Red Bull ecosystem/family/industrial complex, whatever it is that you want to call it, is something that knows no stability whatsoever.

Very rarely is there stability in the driver lineup for both Red Bull-affiliated teams.

Recency bias may have us thinking that this revolving door of Red Bull drivers has only occurred since 2016 or 2018. Because the Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber lineup was stable, as was the Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen lineup. Not to mention that Yuki Tsunoda and Pierre Gasly were teammates for two seasons! And let's not forget the days of David Coulthard and Mark Webber.

Despite those examples of stable lineups, there is always instability occurring at one of the teams, if not both.

Looking through the years, I compiled a list of every driver who's driven for Red Bull or Toro Rosso/AlphaTauri. So, every new driver, every single race change, mid-season swap. If there was a change, then it is listed.

In bold are the drivers currently driving for either Red Bull or AlphaTauri with the most recent first GP start. Lines 28 and 30 with Kyvat and Gasly mark the period in which Toro Rosso became AlphaTauri. The duration counts how many days are between the first GP and the last GP.

Some fun facts that I learned while making this:

Christian Klien and Vitantonio Liuzzi were supposed to trade off every four races in 2005. However, after Liuzzi's four races, Klien finished off the season.

Robert Doornbos is the only Red Bull/Toro Rosso driver to not have a full time drive within the Red Bull industrial complex.

Daniil Kyvat was replaced for the second time in less than two years during his 2016-2017 run. He was replaced by Pierre Gasly for Malaysia and Japan in 2017 due to underwhelming results, then returned for the US GP when Gasly was competing in a Super Formula race. In the end, despite Toro Rosso saying that Gasly was not a permanent replacement and Kyvat was still a part of the Red Bull family, he did not finish out the season and would not return until 2019, making it his third time leaving and coming back to Toro Rosso. (And funnily enough, his 2019 return was to replace Gasly.)

Drivers who have driven for the longest in the Red Bull industrial complex:

Max Verstappen: 3170 days and counting (also has the longest run with only one team - 2757 days and counting)

Sebastian Vettel: 2520 days

Mark Webber: 2443 days

Daniel Ricciardo: 2379 days

Daniil Kyvat: 1793 days

Drivers who have driven the least total days:

Robert Doornbos: 21 days

Liam Lawson: 42 days

Nyck De Vries: 126 days

Brendon Hartley: 399 days

Alex Albon: 469 days

The table, while helpful, doesn't fully allow us to visualize just how unstable the driver lineups are. So, I made a timeline:

(please ignore that driver names aren't in the same places between pictures. the website I was using only allowed 18 events at a time, so there was some shuffling around.)

The driver changes on the top portion in each picture is Red Bull and on the bottom portion, it is Toro Rosso/AlphaTauri.

Maybe this is normal? You know, F1` is a sport that changes all the time. Every year we've had sprint races, it has been different. So, maybe driver changes so often are just the norm?

While there is no direct comparison (as is the case for almost everything in Formula 1), two other current teams on the grid had their first races in the 21st century -- Mercedes and Haas.

Mercedes might have one of the most stable driver lineups. Since 2010, they have only had five drivers. With the exception of George Russell filling in for Lewis Hamilton in 2020 for one race, all drivers raced every race they were supposed to.

Haas, similar to Mercedes, finished driver contracts and didn't make mid-season changes. The only exception was Pietro Fittipaldi completing the 2020 season after Romain Grosjean's crash.

Again, it's not a direct comparison, but there is a very visible difference.

Mercedes has had a stable lineup because they had their world champion driver and a teammate who could be there to pick up the points. Red Bull technically has the same with Max and Sergio now and did have the same with Sebastian and Mark.

But there's a key difference between the Red Bull industrial complex and teams like Mercedes and Haas. Red Bull, for as long as it has been in Formula One, has had a neverending list of drivers waiting in the wings. The Red Bull juniors are like a hydra - you cut off one head and two grow back. One Red Bull junior leaves, there's at least a handful to replace him.

Haas can't develop junior drivers and Mercedes tends to focus their attention on just one or two juniors. They don't have a list of drivers that they can pick and choose to replace a driver. They also don't have a junior team from which they can shuffle things around.

I doubt that Red Bull will ever have the same long-standing driver lineups like other teams, but I am curious to see if the reduced junior drivers will allow for some stability in AlphaTauri (or Racing Bulls I guess).

hi! i'm really loving icarus, you're a wonderful writer! but i just had a quick question. i love the flock graphics, and they're super helpful! would it be possible for you to maybe list the species of birds for the main 'characters' of the story as well? you don't have to post example photos or anything crazy, but i think just a list like that would be helpful too. sometimes i forget who has what kind of wings, and i think having a list so i can google image the bird would be great.

if that's not something you want to do or don't have time to do or something, no worries!! i really appreciate you taking the time to write icarus in the first place <3

Oof I might as well do a general guide! I never thought a maxiel wingfic would spawn so many specific wing allocations but here's the general list:

Paddock wings in Icarus:

Current grid:

Daniel Ricciardo - Scarlet Macaw (colourful, nimble flyers)

Max Verstappen - Peregrine Falcon (raw speed, inherited from his mother)

Sergio Perez -Crested Caracara (a type of mexican bird of prey)

Lewis Hamilton - Greater Bird of Paradise (beautiful wing plumes, lovely singer)

George Russell - Blue swallow (beautiful metallic-blue feathers, scream like madmen when they fly)

Carlos Sainz - Spanish Imperial Eagle (white epaulets, very regal)

Charles Leclerc - White Dove (need I say more? Perfect white wings, exploited because they're pretty but so intelligent in pathfinding)

Lando Norris - Lucifer Hummingbird (Small, colourful, likes to hover in place)

Oscar Piastri - Little Lorikeet (One of the smaller types of Australian parrot. Very cute)

Yuki Tsunoda - Japanese Long-tailed tit (Photos should be self explanatory. They fly like ballistic missiles)

Alexander Albon - Crested Fireback (National bird of Thailand. Beautiful dark blue and fiery plumage)

Logan - Blue Jay (Commonly found in Florida. Blue, like Logan's current posting, and his eyes)

Pierre Gasly - Osprey (A bird of prey often found near coasts along the European shoreline, and Pierre is from Normandy)

Esteban Ocon - Black Stork (Tall, gangly, also migrates through France)

Fernando Alonso - Kestrel (a type of small bird of prey, hunts by biding their time and waiting then divebombing)

Lance Stroll - Snowy Owl (Lance is cuddly ok and I didn't want to make him a Canadian goose because that's his dad)

Valtteri Bottas - Bullfinch (Look it up. The picture is self-explanatory. The manliest of men)

Zhou Guanyu - Chinese Red-Crowned Crane (A crowned crane for the champion of the universe, as translates his name)

Kevin Magnussen - Raven (Viking. quoth the raven.)

Nico Hulkenberg - Crow (he keeps coming back. As wily as many of their bird counterparts but has a bad rep for being a bad omen)

Retired drivers or drivers not currently on the grid:

Sebastian Vettel - Swiftlet (Extremely good fliers, reaching up to 160km/h and pulls insane G-forces)

Mick Schumacher - European robin (Very cute. Universally liked. Same wings as his father)

Nico Rosberg - Eurasian Sparrowhawk (a bird of prey that hunts by ambushing before a high-speed, agile chase)

Jenson Button - Northern Harrier (hunts in a high-speed flight close to the ground, exceptionally good listeners)

Mark Webber - Cassowary (look up a photo. Just look at it.)

Kimi Raikkonen - Giant Albatross (King of gives no shits, flies very long distances without a care)

David Coulthard - Bush-Stone Curlew (White trousers!)

Romain Grosjean - Red-tailed Hawk (I chose the bird of prey that could best mesh with the phoenix metaphor)

Antonio Giovannazi - White-spotted Starling (Very pretty plumage)

Daniil Kyvat - Great Bustard (I honestly don't remember why. Distributes in Russia)

Nyck De Vries - Common European Sparrow (Small. Commonly found. Unfortunately often hunted)

Nikita Mazepin - Flamingo (Need I say more)

Sir Jackie Stewart - (Clipped) Merlin Wings (Extremely fast Scottish bird of prey. In-fic, Jackie was one of the generation of drivers that clipped their wings, permanently robbing them of flight)

Team Principals and people in the paddock:

Toto Wolff - Black Swan (self-explanatory)

Christian Horner - Golden Eagle (A bit pompous. Matches his hair)

James Vowles - Magpie (Utterly clever, not from any particular prestige)

Fred Vasseur - Partridge (Affable. Cuddly.)

Guenther Steiner - Shoebill (self-explanatory, look up a photo)

Cyril Abiteboul - Eagle Owl (something about his face is very Eagle Owl)

Micheal Italiano - Kookaburra (laughs when they shouldn't)

Zak Brown - Chicken (self-explanatory. Literally and metaphorically)

Andreas (mclaren) - Common Quail (short lifespan)

Mattia Binotto - Pigeon (wants to be as pretty and loved as Charles. Is a public nuisance instead)

Otmar sznafnauer - Peacock (Struts around, can't really fly)

Resident Bastard:

Jos Verstappen - Cuckoo (Cuckoos are brood parasites, and lay their eggs in nests of birds of other species'. The cuckoo parent therefore does nothing while other birds raise their young)

Some interesting excerpts from the Max chapter in Lee McKenzie’s book Inside F1

When Max was at Toro Rosso, Lee and the BBC had a 2 day interview with the Verstappen family. At dinner, the BBC was about to pick up the tab, but Jos said Max would pay. Apparently everyone was stunned. Jos explained that the BBC crew were there as guests and would end up making a lovely feature, and Max should pay to say thank you. Max got out the credit card and paid.

Lee was sitting in the RB energy station after the Spain 2016 win where Max won his first GP immediately after getting promoted. Daniel was sitting there too, and Daniil Kyvat walked in. The two drivers looked at each other, stunned, then laughed and shook their heads. “What the fuck just happened,” Daniel apparently said to Daniil. Lee says that the two probably realised at that moment that their careers and status (in Red Bull) had changed.

David Coulthard introduced Lee to Max. In her words, the intro was very DC - “witty, funny, and completely inappropriate”. Lee said she rolled her eyes but “poor Max went bright red, like any normal teenager would”. But, she went on to say, he wasn’t a normal teenager. He was self assured, without arrogance, despite having Red Bull and Mercedes bidding on him.

So I was holding down Daniil Kyvat’s flag, and he broke down on the lap to the grid — so I never actually got to see him. It’s nice to be, you know… It’s pretty special to have someone holding my flag this time.

MAX AND DANIIL KYVAT TOGETHER AT P'S BIRTHDAY PARTY (and nykc & lando was also there) but THAT GOTTA BE SOOOO AWKARD OH GOD

#max verstappen #daniil kvyat #lando norris #nyck de vries

[danthropologie]

Small brain: Max wished Daniel never left, so Christian brought him back.

Big brain: Daniel gave Christian the glock glock 3000 for the seat.

Galactic brain: Christian draws attention towards the second RB seat through meaningless easter eggs so that no one notices his elaborate plan to get his baby boy Kyvat in the AT.

ultimate brain: daniil kyvat has been the true golden boy all along

[sansebastinae]

...well if it makes anyone feel better, 2009 Sebastien Bourdais was dropped halfway by Toro Rosso when the guy wasnt doing well 9 races in, so its not the first time theyve done this (or ever- Daniil Kyvat also had this happen in 2016, 5 races in).

so uh...i guess he's not the first guy to be dropped halfway through a season

[blorbocedes]

Seb was really ready to let it go and kvyat asked what happened and his whole posture changed! I kinda forgot that Kvyat had started that exchange, one minute before they were fine. Ngl pretty funny how one man asks a question and the next week they give his seat to a child (who goes to win the race)

the narrative that kyvat crashed into seb one too many times, seb went to horner, and the next thing you know there's a 17 year old in the redbull -- while probably untrue -- is incredibly compelling

seb showing up to the redbull pitwall as a Ferrari driver and still getting cuddles from his former boss 😭😭😭

This formula racing ai computer racer thing in Abu Dhabi is a fucking embarrassment to say the least. Not only were they delayed by 40 damn minutes, they started the first 3 out of 8 laps under safety car conditions for "safety reasons, there's literally only 4 cars, and other lead car spun on a straight... somehow, way before the braking zone. Also these cars don't have reverse gear or something and so they had to pull a full course yellow out and tow the car out. And these cars would randomly stop on circuit without any explanation really. No red flags and they're pushing cars to the pit lane before it was finally red flagged. I have really no idea what's going on but I do know that this has so much to go through testing wise and that everyone who has tickets (there are people watching) should get refunds or something. They're also using super formula cars and randomly had Daniil Kyvat drive a car around one of the ai cars as if to teach it overtakes. It's confusing and horrific right now.

Someone commented under a video of Kelly and P that P deserved better than Kyvat. Disgusting behavior from Kelly’s minions

I stumbled upon a meme regarding Max, Daniil, and Kelly, and the comments 💀 some people still believe Daniil cheated on her and Kelly left him, others replied to them with the actual story but most of the comments are deleted 👀 I know this because I saved the video out of curiosity for a min to check if that was going to happen.

So contracts are secretive and we can only speculate or learn from leaks most of the time. I’m trying to remember any recent things involving contracts plus anything relevant

Some drivers and teams have performance clauses. If a driver is doing really poorly and there is a performance clause the team can invoke that to fire the driver. Vice versa, if a top team suddenly sucks and the driver has a performance clause the driver can invoke that to leave the team. It could be based or ranking or points. Drivers and teams negotiate this so it’s really specific to that contract, if it’s even in the contract. My bet would be this is what happened with De Vries. I haven’t seen this publicly happen in the 6+yrs I’ve watched

Teams can buy out contracts. If a team really wants a driver that’s on another team, they could pay that team an agreed upon amount to end the contract. Or if a team wants to fire their driver they can negotiate a settlement to end the contact with that driver early (if the driver doesn’t want to settle and wants to stay with the team-there is a whole process of going through the FIA courts to sort it out). McLaren bought out Daniel to end his contract a year early reportedly for a huge amount

Drivers can be on loan. This was recently seen at Alex Albon’s first year at Williams. During the 2022 season, Albon was under contract with Red Bull, but RB had an agreement that he could drive for Williams. They could have at any point called him back to their team if needed like if one of their drivers were sick. For this 2023 season he is under contract with Williams, but he is a Red Bull sponsored driver. RB pays to be a sponsor on his helmet and Alex has gone to some RB events. Probably bc they want to keep close ties to each other.

Red Bull and Alpha Tauri switching. Red Bull and Alpha Tauri are two different teams that make up Red Bull Racing (I might have the wrong official name). These 4 drivers are not contracted under the individual teams; they are actually under contract with Red Bull Racing. This is why RB and AT drivers can be switched with no fuss. They have to go where Red Bull Racing wants them. Recently This has happened twice in 2016 (Max and Daniil Kyvat) and 2019 (Pierre and Alex). Will we see it again…

Another pretty standard thing for any athlete is having a behavior standard in the contract. They can be dropped if they cause a scandal or act inappropriately

To me the most likely scenario is the performance clause was used to fire De Vries, I’m surprised that they did let him finish the season but RB isn’t one to go easy on drivers.

Hope this helped, and I’m happy to infodump any more questions

Mmmm This confirms my suspicions tbh.

I think this is probably part of a bigger warning to Checo as well that they can replace anyone at any time. I also think they’re probably trying to use Danny Ric as a yardstick for Yuki Tsunoda to see where he’s at. I have to say it’s not like Yuki’s been raking in the points and De Vries has been nowhere, it’s a crap car honestly.

Really, the teammate who’s really been underperforming is Lance Stroll but hell will freeze before he gets fired tbh ☕️

[f0point5]

Daniil kyvat has a job so he can't see p all the time , kelly just follows max round when she hasn't got any "modeling" to do

Also Kelly being attracted to max at 17 is definitely not what anyone wants in a parent

Both Daniil and Kelly are adults living their lives, while being parents.

Daniil’s job is a choice. He very likely has more than enough money to choose not to do a job that takes him away as often, or to choose not to work entirely. He makes a choice, just like Kelly makes a choice. That she has every right to make.

I’m not even going to bother to argue the point anymore because quite frankly, unless you can provide a reason why this personally affects you, I think you’re pretty weird for caring this much. Literally how is when Kelly decides to travel any of your business? Maybe you’d like it to be your business but you don’t actually know these people.

He was 18. Think what you want about her thoughts or her choice to repeat them to a reporter…but he was 18.
