Former Haas driver Nikita Mazepin has reportedly had assets worth more than £100million seized amid Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
Mazepin, 23, was released by Haas on the eve of the new F1 campaign, having declined to publicly condemn the war. His axing seemed inevitable after Uralkali, the Russian fertiliser firm co-owned by his father Dmitry, was cut as the team's title sponsor.
F1 themselves had stopped short if issuing a blanket ban on Russian and Belarusian drivers, but ruled they would have to compete under a neutral banner. Following his sacking, Mazepin vowed to form a new foundation to campaign for the rights of athletes barred from competition for "political reason."
