Ex-Formula 1 driver Daniil Kvyat has been linked to a surprise outing in Super Formula’s post-season test at Suzuka in December.
Kvyat appears likely to participate in the Japanese single-seater’s traditional so-called ‘rookie test’ with Honda squad Nakajima Racing on December 6-8. The former Red Bull driver hasn’t raced a single-seater since his final season in F1 with AlphaTauri in 2020, although he did test a Formula E car for the NIO squad earlier this year in Berlin.
Super Formula’s looming change to the damper regulations, with the series banning open damper development in favour of standard components, is likely to mean teams will aim to run their regular drivers for 2024 in the rookie test. The Suzuka test will mark the first time that teams run the Ohlins dampers that will be mandated for use next year.
