How does Mazepin feel about this?

He’s probably used to not being allowed to drive under the Russian flag anyway :grinning:

Looks like it’s official, but waiting for some more official confirmation from F1.

Good, they should cancel the contract and never ever go back to that backward-ass, Putin loving, war-mongering asswipe of a country.

Also sounds like Nikita’s future at Haas is not certain, and that Giovinazzi is lined up to potentially replace him.

F1 Twitter today is a shit show, and the incredible abuse he is getting for something he has no control over is absurd! While I am not a fan of Mazepin, I don’t think he deserves the hate that is filling on the internet today. But…Gio will look better in the Haas…

I think the Haas looks better for it! This actually looks like a sexy livery!

I agree, Mazespin does not deserve the hate. Jeremy Clarkson had an awfully tatseless go at him. Crossed a line in my books. Yes, he is a bad driver, yes his daddy bought him a seat, but I am pretty sure Nikita Mazepin did not hit the red button to launch the rockets or fired any guns. This is a good time to get rid of him due to Russian sanctions, but dont blame him for the actual attacks.

Not trying to derail this topic, but I feel very strongly about the use of the R-word…

Mazepin did also have an utterly tone deaf answer when asked about the invasion. That’s what kicked off all the drama today.

Undeserved hate, but he did do a dumb today.

So, everyone forgot that Alfa Romeo were launching their official race livery today… the price they pay for trying to do things a little differently, I guess.
