Nikita Mazepin looks to have embarked on a new career as an events planner after being axed from Formula 1.
The Russian racer made his F1 debut with Haas, but failed to score a single point during the 2021 season as the team fielded two entirely uncompetitive cars. He was set to be given a second crack alongside Mick Schumacher this year, but things changed after Russia launched their invasion of Ukraine.
The FIA made it clear drivers from Russia would still be allowed to compete, provided they did not represent their country and did not voice any support of their country's belligerence. But Haas quickly made the decision to cut ties with both Mazepin and sponsor Uralkali, the company owned by his oligarch father.
