Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine rocked the Formula 1 paddock. This morning’s news provoked strong reactions from Sebastian Vettel who condemned the action by declaring: “I’m sorry for the people, for those innocent people who are losing their lives because they are being killed for stupid reasons under a very strange and crazy leadership ”.
The Aston Martin German also said he was absolutely opposed to racing the Sochi GP should Formula 1 confirm the September appointment.
In a statement released this morning by the leaders of Formula 1 it was highlighted how closely the evolution of the situation is being followed but, at the same time, no decision has yet been made about the cancellation or not of the race.
The effects of the war in Ukraine also affected the Haas team. The American team, in fact, is sponsored by the Russian company Uralkali which also allowed Nikita Mazepin to join the team.
