The American racing team Haas, performing in the Formula 1 class, has ceased cooperation with Russian racer Nikita Mazepin.
Team leader Günter Steiner announced the decision to terminate the contract. He also added that the team will cancel the sponsorship agreement with the Russian company Uralkali, owned by businessman Dmitry Mazepin, Nikita’s father.
Recall that earlier, due to the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the Haas team changed their livery and refused to use the logos of the Russian company Uralkali.
Nikita Mazepin, who has not scored a single point after 9 races of the 2021 season and has taken the last line in the rating of pilots, retained his place in the cockpit of the American team’s car thanks to financing from the Uralkali company owned by his father Dmitry Mazepin – before the start of the racing championship, she became the title sponsor of Haas. According to media reports, Nikita Mazepin’s place in the car for the 2021 season cost Uralkali tens of millions of dollars and became an additional financial burden on the company.
