Monzanator 3,593 Posted March 2, 2022 #201 Share Posted March 2, 2022 FIA didn't ban Russian & Belarussian drivers (the latter are virtually non-existent) from competing but Great Britain banned them from competing in their country so that probably means Nikita Mazepin won't take part in British GP later this season. https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a39294511/russians-banned-from-uk-motorsport/ heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Thank you for the work you did for us, but fuck you and see you never." Right. If true, I hope we'll be getting rid of Haas soon.

dcro 10,179 Posted March 2, 2022 #207 Share Posted March 2, 2022 FEI bans all Russian and Belarusian athletes starting March 6th. Several Russians are entered for Lier this week, so they will compete, under no flag. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDOG 2,199 Posted March 2, 2022 #208 Share Posted March 2, 2022 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 Canada4thewin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,156 Posted March 2, 2022 #209 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Given Mazespin is by most accounts the least popular driver both on and off the grid I doubt this will create much of a splash. This might doom Haas financially, but it's not like the sanctions weren't in danger of doing that anyway. Canada4thewin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
