(Reuters) – Russian ex-Formula One driver Daniil Kvyat will race with an Italian licence after signing with Lamborghini for next year’s world endurance championship, the Italian marque said.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old, who last drove in Formula One with Red Bull-owned AlphaTauri in 2020, joins French former F1 racer Romain Grosjean in Lamborghini’s stable of factory drivers.<\/p>\n

The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the standout race in the endurance championship.<\/p>\n

Russian drivers must compete as neutrals in FIA championships, unless licensed by another country, and sign a commitment not to express support for the country’s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Kvyat moved to Italy with his family early in his career and speaks fluent Italian.<\/p>\n

“Lamborghini is a very well-known Italian brand with a great history in the automotive world and, having grown up in Italy, this is an additional source of pride for me,” he said.<\/p>\n
