Yumatov Lavoro

Yumatov Lavoro (born 28 March 2020) is a Russian racing driver who races in Formula One for Red Bull-Sauber. He is a four time World Champion and is one of the greatest drivers in the sports history.

## Early life

Born in the slums of Moscow, Russia, Yumztov had a rough upbringing, as both his parents Nikola and Alek were jobless. When he was 8, he got his first taste of motorsport as his family along with thousands of other immigrants broke into the Moscow Grand Prix Circuit. He was hooked, watching legendary drivers like Max Verstappen, Esteban Ocon and George Russell racing around the circuit. Sadly, both his parents were killed in a series of brutal police attacks on immigrants who managed to break into the grounds of the circuits. Yumatov spent the next two years of his life living on the streets with other orphans like him. On his tenth birthday, Yumatov along with a couple of other street kids attempted to break into a local karting circuit, although Yumatov was the only one able to squeeze his way through the fence. Yumatov immediately hopped onto a kart and started driving. The manager of the Circuit, David Zladovic, noticed this and went to get the child off the kart, but something stopped him. The way this child drove was like nothing he had seen before, this child had done this his entire life. He got out a stop watch and begun timing him, and 5 laps later, he had broken the junior record, a record which had stood previously for three years. Zladovic continued to watch the child until he could kart no more, and Zladovic brought him into the building and gave him some food and water. The day after, Zladovic went to the owner of the circuit and asked to enter the child into the Russian karting championship. the owner, Damon Chalovich said that he'll enter Yumatov into the afternoons semi-pro race, and if he didn't finish on the podium, he would have to leave. 4 weeks later Yumatov started his first karting race and kickstarted his motorsports career.

## Career

### Karting

Yumatov started in the 2030 Junior Russian karting championships with David Zladovic as his team. he won the series, picking up 6 wins and 8 podiums, although he struggled at the start of the season, crashing out in the first race and picked up 2 penalties the next, and he began to gain a reputation for being quite a dirty driver, but Lavoro turned this around by the 4th round and began racing cleaner and managed to show incredible pace.

### Formula BMW Asia

With the money won from Russian karting championship, Yumatov was able to compete in Formula BMW Asia, but only just. He had barely any money left and had no sponsors. despite this, Lavoro won the first 4 races of the season, and clinched the series with 3 races to go. At the penultimate race, Josepf Kallinenein, team boss of Kallinenein F1 team, had been invited to the race to watch the "drivers of tomorrow", which was where he spotted Yumatov, and like Zladovic, noticed how much better he was than all the other drivers, and he won the race by twenty seconds. post race, Kalleninein approached Yumatov and Zladovic, where he told him how much potential he has and that he'll be in F1 in the next six years.
