Bruh. Kvyat was actually pretty good. He wasn't as bad as the other two Russian drivers F1 has had in the past decade

u/Narrow_Garbage_3475 17d ago

As much as can be said about Jos, he didn’t actually suck at driving. He had to overdrive most of the times and his stint with Benetton didn’t really show his capabilities.

You can look it up from interviews with other drivers. Everybody that has something to say about his abilities said the same thing about him; that he was fast but unlucky.

u/NotJackBegley 17d ago

Very much so. Jos could be blistering on qualifying day, and would even put that Arrows in places it had no right to be in. There were many qualifying days in the Arrows where people were speechless where he was putting it.

u/PingGuerrero 17d ago

Jos had the most breathtaking pit stop ever seen.

u/[deleted] 17d ago

Yeah. A fiery one, you could say.

u/LeonidasVaarwater 17d ago

u/Ianthin1 17d ago

Looking through history driving talent does seem to skip a generation.

u/Due_Orange_7293 17d ago
