Nikita Dmitryevich Mazepin (Russian: Ники́та Дми́триевич Мазе́пин, IPA: [nʲɪˈkʲitə ˈdmʲɪtrʲɪjɪvʲɪtɕ mɐˈzʲepʲɪn]; born 2 March 1999) is a Russian racing driver who is currently racing for Haas F1 Team in the 2021 Formula One World Championship under a neutral flag representing the Russian Automobile Federation.[3] He previously competed in the FIA Formula 2 Championship for Hitech Racing.[4][5]
Career
Karting career
Mazepin started his international karting career in 2011 in the Trofeo Andrea Margutti and quickly moved up the ranks, driving in the CIK-FIA Karting European Championship in the KF3 class in just his second year of competition. In 2013 he finished fourth in the KFJ-category of the WSK Super Master Series, and in 2014, his final year of karting, the Russian became vice-champion in the Karting World Championship to Lando Norris.
Lower formulae
Mazepin made his car racing debut in the MRF Challenge Formula 2000 at the end of 2014, driving in the first round of the series and grabbing his first podium in just his second race of his single-seater career. He then made the switch to compete in the Toyota Racing Series with ETEC Motorsport, where he finished 18th in the drivers' standings.[6] The Russian followed that up by racing for Josef Kaufmann Racing in the Formula Renault Northern European Cup alongside Louis Delétraz, Kevin Jörg and fellow rookie Dries Vanthoor.[7] Mazepin scored one podium with a third-place finish at the Red Bull Ring, and ended up twelfth in the championship.
Formula 3 European Championship
In 2016, Mazepin competed in the 2016 FIA Formula 3 European Championship for Hitech Grand Prix.[8] He scored four points-scoring finishes and finished 20th in the championship, last of all full-time entrants. After being blocked during a session by Callum Ilott, Mazepin got into an altercation with the other driver, during which Mazepin hit Ilott in the face, resulting in a ban from the first race of the Hungaroring meeting. The sanction itself was controversial, with Frits van Amersfoort, boss of Ilott's team, believing the decision to be too lenient, calling it "a ridiculous decision by the stewards".[9][10]
Nonetheless, Mazepin was retained for another season.[11] He improved significantly compared to his first year, scoring 108 points and finishing on the podium on three occasions. He finished in tenth, one place behind teammate Ralf Aron.
GP3 Series
Mazepin moved to GP3 in 2018 to race for ART Grand Prix alongside Callum Ilott, Jake Hughes and eventual champion Anthoine Hubert.[12] He won four races, the most of any driver that year, and finished second in the championship, only 16 points behind Hubert.[13] Furthermore, he helped his team secure the title in the team championship.[14]
FIA Formula 2 Championship
In 2019, Mazepin progressed to Formula 2 to partner Nyck de Vries at ART Grand Prix.[15] His season was marked by causing an accident with Nobuharu Matsushita in the sprint race at the Sochi Autodrom. While his teammate ended up winning the championship, Mazepin's end result was 18th place with 11 points.
In 2020, he signed for the new Hitech Grand Prix Team to drive alongside Italian Luca Ghiotto. His first podium came at the Hungaroring with second place, before taking his first F2 victory in Britain. Mazepin also won the feature race at Mugello. On the final lap of the Belgian feature race, he pushed Carlin Motorsport driver Yuki Tsunoda wide, and was given a five second time penalty, denying him victory.[16][17]
Formula One
Mazepin was named test driver of Sahara Force India in 2016 and made his Formula One testing debut in the in-season test at Silverstone, where he achieved a personal best lap time of 1:31.561.[18] He stayed in that role for the following two seasons, racking up 100 laps at the Hungaroring in 2017 and 51 in 2018 at the same track.[19] The following year the Russian took part for Mercedes in the 2019 Barcelona test, where he topped the timing sheets with a time of 1:15.775.[20]
Haas (2021–)
Mazepin joined Haas F1 Team for 2021 on a multi-year deal, partnering Mick Schumacher.[3] He chose the number 9 as his permanent racing number. Mazepin competes under a neutral flag representing the Russian Automobile Federation in the 2021 and 2022 Formula One World Championships after the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld a World Anti-Doping Agency ban on Russia competing at World Championships in December 2020 due to state sponsored doping of Russian athletes.[21]
In his debut race, Mazepin crashed out on the first lap by losing control on the kerb at turn three.[22] During the 2021 Portuguese Grand Prix, Mazepin was penalised 5 seconds for ignoring blue flags and blocking Sergio Pérez.[23] At the 2021 Belgian Grand Prix in Spa-Francorchamps, which only lasted two laps behind the Safety Car due to heavy rain, Mazepin recorded the fastest lap of the race on the second lap; however, as the race was suspended permanently thereafter, the official results were taken from the end of the race's first full lap, and as a consequence, Mazepin's fastest lap award was rescinded.[24]
Personal life
He is the son of Dmitry Mazepin, who is the core shareholder and chairman of the Uralchem Integrated Chemicals Company.[25]
On 9 December 2020, Mazepin posted an Instagram story in which he appeared to inappropriately grope a woman's breasts.[26][27] In a statement, the Haas F1 Team rebuked Mazepin's actions and called the video "abhorrent". Mazepin also released an apology, stating "I have to hold myself to a higher standard as a Formula 1 driver and I acknowledge I have let myself and many people down", but the apology was deleted nine days later.[28][29] In March 2021, Mazepin reiterated that he understood his actions were wrong.[30] The woman in the video defended Mazepin and labelled his actions as a joke between the two.[31][32] The woman has since posted content on her own social media stating "never let them touch you again or be disrespectful to you" and the two have since unfollowed each other.[33] The controversy led to the hashtag "#WeSayNoToMazepin" to trend on Twitter, calling for Mazepin's removal from the Haas F1 Team.[34][35]
