In Nikita’s head Mazepin there is only Formula 1. The Russian driver, initially confirmed by Haas and then excluded once his country invaded Ukraine, has no intention of giving up. To the point that he is not taking into consideration non-FIA motorsport, specifically theIndyCar. Sentiment reciprocated: to date there are no teams interested in him. Also because joining the family of a Russian oligarch, even if allowed by the regulation and even if Mazepin were an attractive driver, would not be recommended in terms of image.
In short, an impossible marriage. Mazepin is much more open to a return to Formula 1 when the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is over: “I am confident that in the future it will be possible to return. Also for this reason I have kept myself in good physical shape, so if such a challenge arises I will be able to take advantage of it.“, He told the Russian newspaper Sport-Express. “I want to emphasize that the FIA authorizes me to race under certain conditions (not exhibiting any national symbol, ed.). Sport should unite and I have always been guided by the principle that when you wear a helmet you don’t have the color of your skin and you don’t belong to any particular state. Formula 1 is a private company, whose decisions are made by the teams themselves. In Haas they are taken by Günther Steiner and, if interested, the patron Gene. Top teams are worth several billion dollars and I think someday I will join Formula 1 as a businessmanbut for now I’m in no hurry. The IndyCar? I’m not interested. Of course I can’t say what will happen tomorrow, but all my life I have wanted to get into Formula 1. I’ve already got there, but the appetite comes with eating and I have no doubts what I could do in a competitive car.“. The problem for him is that everyone else has different doubts.
