Former Formula One driver Nikita Mazepin has been added to a list of individuals facing sanctions by the EU due to their connections to the Russian government.
Motorsports governing body would've allowed Mazepin to drive this year under the organization's flag instead of Russia's.
Uralchem has asked the team to return all the sponsorship money that was paid to it for this season and has threatened legal action if it does not comply, WTF1.com reported."I was not ready for it. I did not receive any hint, or any support to say ‘you know, this is the decision we’ve taken, it’s going to go live in 15 minutes, just be ready for it’," Mazepin said, according to WTF1.com.
"If I get the chance to speak to the team – I want to note that it definitely won’t be me reaching out, because I feel that I haven’t done anything [bad] – then of course I will tell them directly what I personally think of this." Haas F1 has not announced a full-time replacement for Mazepin, but his seat is being filled at testing in Bahrain this week by the team's reserve driver, Pietro Fittipaldi.
