Nikita Mazepin believes 'it will be possible to return' to F1 once Ukraine invasion ends

F1 outcast Nikita Mazepin believes he will have the chance to return to the sport once Russia's invasion of Ukraine comes to an end.

The Russian racer was axed by Haas just weeks before the start of the season, after Vladimir Putin ordered his forces to cross the border into Ukraine. The team also cut ties with main sponsor Uralkali, a fertiliser firm owned by his oligarch father Dmitry.

While Haas chose to cut their ties with the racer, Russian motorsport stars have been given permission to compete under a neutral flag by the FIA. It means Mazepin is still allowed to compete in Formula 1 should another team choose to take a chance on him.
