2007-2008

After doing some test runs in Formula Renault 3.5 car Move had signed a contract to participate in 2007 season with Austrian team Interwetten Racing. His debut season became very disappointing, whereas Daniil hadn't scored any point. More over, in Monaco he appeared unable to make into the field, recording a DNQ. At the end of 2007' season Move tested in International Formula Master (where he showed the best results) and in two races of that championship. In the 1st race he was forced to retire due to an accident. However, in Monza, Italy, he took pole-position and finished 4th despite of engine issues. In 2008, he had returned to Formula Renault 3.5 with the KTR team. The season started with no signs of improvement, unless he scored his first points by finishing 5th in the 2nd race of the weekend. However, that appeared to be a one-off, the following races brought no fruition and he has subsequently left the team after Hungaroring. He started 2009 once again in Formula Renault 3.5, now with the P1 Motorsport. As before, the season had started for Daniil with two finishes outside of the top 10. Though, at the next venue, in Spa he scored points in both occasions, for 5th and 4th places. His pace was improving during the season resulting in 5 races in a row, highlighted with a maiden podium finish at the 1st race in Nürburgring, a result he repeated in the final race of the season in Aragon, eventually completing the season rounding out the top 10. Move's progress was noticed by the Lotus company, which at that time was actively promoting its brand by starting out numerous motorsport projects. Thus, Move had signed a contract with Lotus F1 Team, thereby joining the Lotus Junior Team in Formula Renault 3.5 for the season of 2010. The season turned to be a disaster. Only on four occasions he had scored points, with the best result of 7th, which he had scored at the season-opening venue in Aragon. Eventually Daniil has left the team with one venue to go.

2009-2013

From 2009 to 2013 Move continued participating in Formula Renault 3.5 Series, showing top results in tests and races. He made the podium on numerous occasions, as well as earned points.
