Nikita’s Contract Was Terminated
The year 2022 saw Russia starting a military invasion of Ukraine. The global response resulted in action against not only Russia but also athletes from the country. Amidst the invasion, Nikita Mazepin’s contract was terminated by Hass. Similarly, the team also terminated the title sponsorship of the Russian company, Uralkali.
After this action by the team, Nikita expressed his disappointment and stated that he had been willing to abide by the FIA’s rule of competing as a neutral athlete.
After the sad exit from the Haas team, Mazepin announced the creation of a foundation that will help athletes who for many political reasons could not compete in any events. On the other hand, many sites have reported that Nikita and his father, Dmitry Mazepin, have been added to the EU blacklist.
Well, we hope, Nikita’s foundation takes off and does well in its operation. We also wish the Russian driver all the best in his personal life.
