Nikita Mazepin left the Haas F1 Team after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Nikita Mazepin has successfully overturned European Union sanctions imposed on him following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The sanctions were initially placed due to his and his father Dmitry’s perceived closeness to Vladimir Putin. Despite being dropped by Haas before the 2022 season and replaced by Kevin Magnussen, Mazepin’s sanctions have now been lifted by the EU’s general court. However, sanctions from the United Kingdom and Canada are still in effect. Mazepin aims to make a comeback to Formula 1 and is currently competing in the Asian Le Mans Series while expressing gratitude for the court’s ruling.
