Not an expert on the matter but isn't Mazepin kinda a prick and an average racer pushed by his oligarch dad's money?    

 

 

Honestly no sympathy with the guy then 

Oh absolutely, if anyone has to be pushed out this way, better Mazepin than basically anyone else

Things get serious.

 

EA Sports has revealed that it is in the process of removing the Russian national team and all Russian clubs from FIFA 22.

 

A statement from EA Sports added that the company 'stands in solidarity with the Ukrainian people' after the country was invaded by Russia.

The team won't be expelled per se, they pulled the Uralkali sponsors brands during the last day of testing and they can always draft a test driver in place of Mazepin (currently Pietro Fittipaldi). The bigger question is whether the team could survive without a title sponsor. The most logical answer would be "no" hence team would collapse on its own unless they can find a last-minute replacement.

Looks like Banco do Brasil will sponsor them and Pietro Fittipaldi will be driving in the first half of the season

Total silence from GB Paralympics since their statement. Sounds like a boycott will be announced tomorrow. If 20+ nations withdraw the IPC would surely have to at least attempt a u turn or face a games with only China, Russia, Belarus and few others competing.
