The entire Russian GP contract has been cancelled, not just this yearsā race. So no last hurrah for Sochi this year, no Welcome to F1 party for St Petersburg next year.

Took a year and the invasion of a sovereign nation, but the #WeSayNoToMazepin campaign eventually pays off.
Haas have terminated the contract of Nikita Mazepin, which means there will be no Russian drivers competing in Formula 1 this season. Haas have said Mazepinās replacement will be named next week. Reserve driver Pietro Fittipaldi, who is the grandson of two-time world champion Emerson Fittipaldi, will likely be his replacement.

Rumours have been circulating for days that Nikita Mazepin will be replaced at the Haas team. Due to the war in Ukraine, more and more countries are banning Russian drivers, making the situation difficult for Mazepin. Multiple sources report that Pietro Fittipaldi will take over the seat, but according to information from BILD the team is opting for another driver.

So who gets the seat?
- Pietro Fittipaldi
- Antonio Giovinazzi
- Nico Hulkenberg
- Kevin Magnussen
- Oscar Piastri
- Someone Else

Nikitaās statement:
āUnilateral moveā. Not so fun when things are nonconsensual, is it, Nikita?
Colour me shocked that they didnāt want to keep him around based on the relationships he built this past year, or his talent.

Subscribe using a different email address to one youāve used for a F1TV subscription before. The only way they can see that itās your āFirst Yearā is by email address. If you have a Gmail account, you can add +anything after your existing address, and most auto systems will see it as a different account. Mail to the plus address still goes to your usual account.
[email protected] > [email protected] should work.
