Nikita Mazepin was furious with the Haas F1 team after getting dropped.. Mazepin shared a heated message to Haas & hopes to get back to F1 soon!
It’s fair to say that nikita mazzapin didn’t enjoy the status of the fan favorite driver during his formula one stint so when it was announced just last week that nikita mazzapin is getting dropped by hass ahead of the 2022 season many fans were delighted the steiner-led organization decided to terminate the russians contract after the loss of his financial backing
As the team was forced to drop the title sponsor euro kali following russia’s invasion of ukraine pass f1 team has elected to terminate with immediate effect the title partnership of eurocali and the driver contract of nikita mazapin stated the team on twitter speculation over mazzapin retaining his seat started as early as barcelona testing during which the
Conflict broke out but the russians chances of getting sacked by hass were second to none as the fia took immediate action and offered mazapan the opportunity to drive under a neutral flag as countries were starting to ban athletes competing under the russian flag from their sporting events the 23 year old did not think twice and snatched the chance as he agreed
To race under the so-called fia flag so it seemed that any drama was over mazzipin would be able to participate in the races and therefore hass will retain him right not in the world of formula one has shocked the world when they surprisingly announced that they will indeed be parting ways with nikita mazapin ahead of the 2022 season as the team terminated their
Contract with mazzapin with immediate effect and whilst this came as a surprise to the whole paddock it was mazapan who was shocked the most as he admitted he got notified of the decision at the same time it was announced to the press and the russian driver didn’t rule out the possibility of taking legal action against his former team either i value relationships
A lot said mazapan i believe that f1 is a unique sport because it is very much about team building and i was very disappointed because of the way it was handled admitted the russian racer i’m very disappointed to hear that my f1 contract has been terminated mazapin wrote while i understand the difficulties the ruling from fia plus my ongoing willingness to accept
The conditions proposed in order to continue were completely ignored and no process was followed in this unilateral step stated mazapan angrily just moments after his dismissal i’d like to think i’m a young man at 23 and i was not ready for it i didn’t receive any hint or any support to say that this is a decision we’ve taken it’s going to go live in 15 minutes
Just be ready for it continued mazzapin before talking about his disappointment in guntersteiner in my previous relationships with gunter which i rated a very good one and respected him as a man very much so i’ve been used to believe 101 percent in his words he’s a team principal and if he says something it normally happens or it always happens but i have not
Heard any information from the team ever since this happened and i learned about the firing of me the same time as it had been released to the press the ex-has driver said mazzipin then slammed down any suggestions of this being the end of his career as he confirmed he still strives for a place in f1 i absolutely do not see f1 as a closed chapter for me he said i’m
Going to stay in a race condition and i’ll be ready to take on an opportunity if it comes and at the moment i’m only citing f1 and no other categories so as the 23 year old believes he still has a future in formula one the main question remains whether his f1 comeback is going to come in the form of re-signing with hass or trying to find a seat in a different team
Something mazapan did not have to think twice about as he immediately said i do not want to be at a team that doesn’t want me formula one is a dangerous sport and you have to rely on the team you’re working with it is a question of safety and it is fair to say i don’t have that trust in them said the russian but whilst getting axed from your team has to hurt nikita
Didn’t come bearing bad news only as he admitted he was pleased with the support he got both from the fans but also from his fellow racers he named the four drivers who didn’t hesitate to contact him immediately as they showed immense support for their ex-colleague sergio valteri charles and george all contacted me he said they know how important the situation
Is and they showed their support after i lost the opportunity to compete before elaborating on the nature of the texts the messages were nothing political but just on a personal level to keep my head up because athletes have been broken and lives have been destroyed after a decision like that i would also like to add that i’m thankful for the support from them
Because in the long journey towards f1 they’ve been every one of them risking losing their seats and they actually support me in this time when i lost my dream and i lost my drive concluded mazzipin so even though this is a terrible situation for the young racer as all his hopes and dreams shattered right in front of him in a split second he doesn’t seem to have
Lost his hunger as he is able to see the light at the end of the tunnel which remains to be a formula one comeback it is important to mention that mazzapin had no time to spare as he set up a foundation which he decided to name we compete as one mimicking formula one’s we race as one anti-racism initiative a support organization for russian athletes who lost their
Careers amidst the current war situation as mazapan aims for the foundation to provide them with financial psychological and legal aid we all know that the career of an athlete is a short one and that it requires years of intense sacrifice to perform at the highest level he explained when that final reward is taken away it is devastating and no one is thinking
What happens next to these athletes i will be addressing this concluded the russian many were left wondering about hass’s financial situation following the loss of ural kali dmitry mazapin was believed to have been injecting between 20 to 30 million dollars per season to the team which made it hass’s largest sponsor but the team insists the revenue loss is not an
Issue that would keep them up at night financially we are okay said steiner it has no implication on the team how we are running it or how we’re doing there are more ways to get the funding so that there’s no issue with that one continue the team principle before being questioned about how gene hass the team owner feels about the situation there is no issue with
That one with him he stands behind the position he owns the team so he knows what we are doing and he supports it concluded steiner it is no secret that hass wasn’t the luckiest of teams when it came to sponsorship deals the team almost went bankrupt following their attempt to be sponsored by a very unknown energy drink brand in 2019 and is now facing potential
Legal threats from dmitry mazapin it comes as no surprise that the russian oligarch wasn’t delighted with hass as the team broke multiple legally binding contracts between the two sides in the process of dropping his son dmitry mazzapin and geralcali now issued a frightening response to the situation as most of the sponsorship funding for the 2022 season has
Already been transferred to house and given that the team terminated the sponsorship agreement before the first race of the 2022 season hass has thus failed to perform its obligations to eurocali for this year’s season eurocali shall request the immediate reimbursement of the amounts received by hass stated the russian fertilizer giant ural kali intends to protect
Its interests in line with applicable legal procedures and reserves its rights to initiate judicial proceedings claim damages and seek repayment of the significant amounts ural kali had paid for the 2022 formula one season wrote the former house sponsor the refund from hass and the remaining part of ural kali’s sponsor financing for 2022 will be used to establish
The we compete as one athlete support foundation concluded your okali so whilst tas insists on being in a great financial position having to transfer multi-eight figures to the russian company’s account is no easy task for the team as it most likely represents a very large amount of their current liquid assets something that could undoubtedly take a toll on the
American team but it’s not all bad news coming from the haas team the organization used all its 2021 resources towards their 2022 vf-22 race car a bet that seems to be paying off as the two house drivers set some blistering pace during the bahrain pre-season testing kevin magnussen went quickest of all on friday and mick schumacher soon joined the party as he came
Out second best on saturday only missing out to red bull’s max verstappen so maybe after all it’s not as bad for hass as it might seem as the team hopes to put its past behind them and get back to the midfield in 2022 we want to know what you guys think where do you think hass will finish this year and which of the two drivers do you see coming out on top let us
