Guenther Steiner has revealed more details about the decision to sack Nikita Mazepin on the eve of the 2022 season.
Haas moved quickly to act as news broke of the Russian invasion. The teams were testing at the time, and overnight the team changed their livery to get rid of the colours of the Russian flag and run in a plain white and red paintjob.
And a few days later, the team revealed that they had cut ties with Uralkali, the Russian fertiliser firm owner by billionaire oligarch Dmitry Mazepin. They also replaced his son Nikita as a driver after one season, bringing back their former racer Kevin Magnussen to partner Mick Schumacher.
