Russian driver Nikita Mazepin has been sacked by Haas ahead of the upcoming Formula 1 season, with the team also confirming that they have terminated their contract with title sponsor Uralkali with immediate effect.
Mazepin’s position had become increasingly uncertain during Russia’s continued invasion of Ukraine, even after the FIA ruled that the 23-year-old would be allowed to continue racing under a neutral flag following an emergency meeting earlier this week.
