Nikita Mazepin has had to deal with the consequences after the video shared where she touched Andrea D’lVal’s breast, an ‘instagramer’ who is supposedly her friend. These images ignited the Formula 1, although Haas decided to keep him as a driver in 2021 alongside Mick Schumacher.
Time has passed a bit, but the Russian has returned for another thing that has felt very bad in F1. Mazepin has been fined to pay 274 pounds sterling (312 euros) and three points less on his driving license for skipping a red light last June in Oxford. I mean, he’s been in for two regrettable episodes and he still hasn’t debuted with Haas. This promises…
Now, Stefano Domenicali has made it clear that behaviors of this type will not be tolerated. The head of F1 has been exhaustive about what happened to the 21-year-old: “I would say that it is quite clear that what Mazepin did is not acceptable. We have to make sure that in the conversations we have they understand that we cannot joke about certain things. It is not impossible. They are too important not to understand and accept that they are role models. That is something we will discuss together, not just with him. When the time comes, I want to meet with them to see how important they are to our sport. “
The mandams of the ‘Great Circus’ has advanced that he intends to instruct the pilots in the face of what is coming. He doesn’t want anyone to be signified by such embarrassing scenes as the one starring Mazepin. It demands model behaviors. “I have personally sent a letter to the drivers, because I wanted to share with them how important it is that they understand the value of being good ambassadors for F1. It’s not just the sport, it’s the values that F1 is focused on. The ‘We Race as one’ project, diversity and sustainability projects. He invited them to a meeting, the goal is to have it in Bahrin, to talk and share this opportunity, “he adds.
The Italian manager concludes: “We have never had so many young and talented people and we cannot afford to miss the opportunity to make them understand that they are more than just drivers. They have a great responsibility, they are the face of our sport“.
Returning to Mazepin, it should be noted that running under a neutral flag for the next two years after confirming that the TAS sentence for doping against Russia extends to F1. By the way, Haas’s is not daunted by the fact that his figure generate antipathy and be so controversial even without having premiered. “There is not a Russian pilot who has been as hated as I am. Am I ready for this? Well, it is part of life. If you want to race, you have to face something like that,” he said in a recent interview.
