Kirill Ilych Kutskov (; born 28 May 2008) is a Russian racing driver currently competing in the GB3 Championship for Elite Motorsport.
Kutskov is the 2024 F4 CEZ runner-up, and finished third in the 2024 F4 Saudi Arabian Championship.
Career Karting (2017–2024) Kutskov began karting in 2017, competing until 2024. In his two-year stint in Mini karts, he most notably won the Trofeo Delle Industrie in 2019 and finished second in the South Garda Winter Cup the same year. Kutskov then progressed up to OK-J for the next two years, finishing runner-up in the Champions of the Future points in 2021 and third in the 2022 WSK Euro Series standings. Stepping up to OK for 2023, Kutskov had what turned out to be his most successful year in karts, winning both the WSK Euro Series and the Karting World Championship for DPK Racing, before stepping up to KZ2 in 2024.
Formula 4 (2023–2025) Kutskov made his single-seater debut in late 2023, racing in the Trophy round of the 2024 F4 Saudi Arabian Championship, in which he scored a best result of fourth in race one. Racing in the main season at the start of the following year, Kutskov took his only win of the season in Jeddah and scored seven more podiums to end the season third in points. Joining Maffi Racing for the rest of 2024 to race in the Formula 4 CEZ Championship, Kutskov started the season with a win in Balaton Park and four podiums in the first three rounds to put himself second in points by the halfway mark. Kutskov then won at Most and Brno, before ending the season by winning all three races at the Salzburgring to finish runner-up in points to Oscar Wurz. During 2024, Kutskov also made his Italian F4 debut at Monza for the same team, and made a one-off appearance in the F4 Spanish Championship for GRS Team at Jarama.
Returning to Maffi Racing for 2025, Kutskov raced with them in select rounds of the Formula Winter Series. After scoring a best result of seventh in Barcelona, Kutskov returned to the team to contest his first full season in the Italian F4 Championship. In the seven-round season, Kutskov took a best result of fourth in the season-ending Misano round to end the year 18th in the overall standings. Kutskov also raced with the same team in the last two rounds of the Formula 4 CEZ Championship, scoring two wins at Slovakia Ring and ending the year with a win at Brno. During 2025, Kutskov also competed in the SMP F4 Championship for Prima Racing, in which he scored two wins in the season-opening round in Moscow and took three more podiums to finish ninth in points.
GB3 (2026) The following year, Kutskov joined Elite Motorsport to compete in the GB3 Championship.
