The owner just fired from Haas, Nikita Mazepin, the talent of Ferrari, Robert Shwartzman, Alexander Smolyar in F3 with the MP team, the drivers of the International Drifting Cup. And there would be other Russian and Belarusian drivers who race in the various championships controlled by the Fia. If on Tuesday they escaped the risk of exclusion from racing due to the consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, this year each of them will be obliged to follow the codes of conduct imposed by the Federation, published in a note on their website. Those who should have followed also Nikita Mazepin, who was fired by Haas instead.

If in the past few days the FIA has decided, “until further news”, not to let the drivers of international competitions in Russia and Belarus race, all those who belong to one of the two countries will be banned in 2022 from displaying symbols, colors or flags of your country, both in public and on social media. Furthermore, the same flags, emblems, symbols and words of Russian and Belarusian origin may not be displayed on uniforms, clothes, accessories and other personal items. The signing and execution of the anthem of the two States in the event of victory is also prohibited, as well as comments, actions or behavior detrimental to the interests of the FIA, in particular any support in favor of Ukraine and against the invasion of Russia .

The Federation also did not exclude other sanctions against the drivers of the two Nations: “The FIA - it is written in the note – continues to closely monitor the events in Ukraine and reserves the right to take further actions or implement further measures in the future, including all the actions necessary to fulfill its obligations under any applicable sanction regime and / or any contracts to which the FIA is a party “. All the guides have been explicitly warned that they could still be refused entry to the events if the Federation decides to take a tougher stance. Furthermore, the Russian and Belarusian drivers involved in FIA competitions were forced to sign a document in which they undertake to respect these measures.

It is written in the acceptance document: “I acknowledge and agree that the FIA may implement further measures or issue further decisions in relation to my participation in the covered events in light of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine including the right to deny me entry or prevent me from attend any event. I will respect any further measures and decisions “. Meanwhile, other heavy sanctions have already arrived at the hands of Formula 1 itself, which – a few hours after the decision of the Silverstone GP promoters to ban Russian drivers from entering for the race on 3 July – decided to terminate the contract with Russia, valid until 2025, to host the Grand Prix. Thus finding the harsh response of Alexander Vlasov, deputy governor of the Krasnodar region where Sochi is located (the city where F1 raced from 2014 until last year, ed), who spoke to the Russian news agency, Tass, about ” unreasonable sanction made to please Western politicians “.
