“I have a desire to try my hand at a truck, the Kamaz K5. If called, I will transfer,” he said.
Let’s add
Nikita Mazepin was expelled from the Haas team after personal sanctions were imposed on his father Dmytro Mazepin .
He got into the list as a public figure who did not give up his connection with “Uralkali” – his father’s company, which acted as a sponsor of the “Haas” team .
At the time when Mazepin Jr. was still participating in Formula 1 races, his father, the Russian oligarch Mazepin, threatened the management of the Formula 1 team to deprive them of funding due to the failures of his son, who lost almost all the time on the race track.
Nikita himself did not see his fault in the failures and blamed everything on the team and his car, constantly asking to replace it. The elder Mazepin was dissatisfied with his son’s results, but he did not see it as his fault either. In one of the conversations with the coach, Dmytro Mazepin threatened to deprive the team of funding if the situation did not improve.
