Nikita Mazepin won't be allowed to race under the :RUS flag during the next two seasons based on the CAS verdict.

 

I really hope this flag nonsense ends after the 2022, how long they can pretend Russia doesn't exist as a country? They busted people in cc skiing, biathlon and athletics and yet here in F1 we can't have a Russian driver. What's gonna happen with the Russian Grand Prix at Sochi? Will that be taken away or forced to run as "Neutral Athletes" Grand Prix or what?

 

I'm shocked the :RUS flag hasn't been banned from TO yet :p

It would be funny if we got rid of the flag, but only in threads about the Olympics and World Championships :p

I’d rather they get rid of Mazepin (to be replaced by Kvyat or Shwartzman) than the Russian flag...

Thankfully CAS doesn't run TO or else that would probably happen. I hope you see how idiotic this "ban" really is. I wonder what kind of crap CAS pulls in December 2022 when the ban ends. Will we be able to say "Russia" again? I'm not so sure....

It's hilarious that :RUS Mazepin competes for the US team in Formula 1  :lol:  Hilary Clinton must be in WTF mode. I hope Joe Biden doesn't revoke Gene Haas' nationality over this :roflmao:

 

Btw, Shwartzman can use the :RUS flag because Formula 2 doesn't have World Championship status :coffee:

It’s not like there aren’t a bunch of vocally pro-Putin Russian NHL players playing for American teams.

 

Also almost nobody in America knows who Mazepin is or what Haas F1 is :P

NHL is a domestic league so isn't eligible for the CAS ban. Russian NHL players will indeed remain Russian NHL players.

 

Yeah, America knows more about Kyle Larson using racial slurs but I hear he's back to some driving so his "ban" was way shorter than whatever happens to the word "Russia" in terms of Mazepin :p

    • TV Coverage is on Eurovision Sports this year   UIPM 2026 Pentathlon World Cup – Round 1 | Eurovision Sport
    • Of the top teams the world with traditions, only Portugal didn`t play in 3 World Cups in a row: 1986-2002 (1990, 1994 and 1998), but then fewer teams played in the World Cup than now. I don't really remember what caused the crisis in Portuguese football in the 1990s or how it was done with this later? Perhaps we should follow their example?
    • Well... If not qualifying for the World Cup for the third consecutive time isn't enough to bring about change in Italy, I can't imagine what will be.
    • Gravina is simply stupid and probably has some kind of hold over other important key figures in Italian football, since he was elected in 2024 with a majority of over 90% of the votes... I have a hard time imagining it any other way. Compared to him, even Carraro, Berlusconi and Moggi seem like nice and kind gentlemens   Some people believe that Calciopoli in 2006 began the decline of Italian football and that may be true. It only got worse from there, not counting a single accidental Euro 2021 win- something similar to Greece in 2004. In 2009 Roberto Baggio prepared a 900-page report on necessary reforms in Italian football, but the then-FIGC board tossed it into the trash bin. Now we see the consequences...
    • I thought our former football President was greedy, selfish, power hungry and delusional, but apparently he has an equal counterpart in Gravina. Some people just lack common decency. 
    • Well, it's possible that Italians may be more bitter towards short track officials after the robbery they perpetrated against Sighel at the Olympics and therefore more willing to comment and criticize them, but it doesn't make the decision any less ridiculous.   Also, the fact we are Italians, and therefore used to the low standards of football refereeing, makes us especially qualified and trained to identify biased/crooked/incompetent judging 
    • I think it was never in the history of our sport has there been anyone as brazen and stupid as Gravina. Before presidents would resign, or at least hide for a while, rather than go into a full-blow scandalous attitude with full larrogance and pride. I hope this idiot gets fired anyway, even if he doesn't resign.

    • Joking aside, apparently discussions are ongoing with ECB and CI for some kind of euro 6 Nations in T20 cricket - apparently the idea at this point is automatic qualification for England, Ireland, Scotland and the Netherlands, while the final two places will be decided at a Tri-series in which Italy will be the only automatic entry, more or less guarnteeing Italy entry - from there, its two parallel Tri series with a finals day. Apparently inspired by the rise of Nepal and the Asia Cup, English cricket think they can make a short sharp tournament of this sort financially viable, as it would involve only three T20 games over 5 days in the early season, and they could rest the biggest players while getting some goodwill from ICC - previously they had not shown interest in a comp the Scots and Dutch have always wanted.
