A little over two years after his exclusion from Formula 1, Nikita Mazepin drove again in Europe. The Russian had been banned from competing on European soil following the invasion of Ukraine by Vladimir Putin&#8217;s armies. An exception could have been made for him. <a href=\"\/f1\/actualite\/26566-mazepin-allait-signer-la-lettre-de-la-fia-pour-courir-sous-banniere-neutre.html\" title=\"Mazepin was going to sign the letter from the FIA to compete under a neutral banner\">He was going to sign a letter to the FIA to race under a neutral banner<\/a>. But at the last minute, this option was taken away from him.<\/p>\n<p>The son of the oligarch Dmitry Mazepin then disappeared from the radar. Apart from a few interviews here and there, Nikita Mazepin has never really given any news. The former Haas driver has not posted anything on his Twitter account since March 9, 2022.<\/p>\n<p>In June 2022, he participated in the Silk Rally. Then in 2023, he secured a seat at 99 Racing in the Asian Le Mans Series. Onboard his LMP2, he finished third in the 4 Hours of Dubai. He then won in Malaysia, with the same car during the 4 Hours of Sepang. He also achieved the same result at the 4 Hours of Dubai, on February 4th.<\/p>\n<h2>Driving a Ferrari in Hungary<\/h2>\n<p>On March 20, the Russian was removed from the list of sanctioned individuals following the War in Ukraine. A little over three months after this decision was made by the European Union Court, he rolled on European soil.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old man tested a Ferrari 286 GT3, the same cars entered by the Scuderia in the World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This session took place on the brand new Balton Park track in Hungary.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab I am happy that the EU has recognized that athletes like me, who have no links to politics, should not be subject to sanctions. I hope that all athletes who are currently prevented from participating in international competitions for geopolitical reasons will regain their rightful place within the sports community, he acknowledged.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C8zir1nNL0N\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\"background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;margin: 1px;max-width:540px;min-width:326px;padding:0;width:99.375%;width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px);width:calc(100% - 2px)\">\n<div style=\"padding:16px\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C8zir1nNL0N\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" style=\"background:#FFFFFF;line-height:0;padding:0 0;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:100%\" target=\"_blank\"> <\/p>\n<div style=\"flex-direction: row;align-items: center\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;flex-grow: 0;height: 40px;margin-right: 14px;width: 40px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"flex-direction: column;flex-grow: 1;justify-content: center\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;margin-bottom: 6px;width: 100px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;width: 60px\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"height:50px;margin:0 auto 12px;width:50px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px\">\n<div style=\"color:#3897f0;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:550;line-height:18px\">Voir cette publication sur Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"flex-direction: row;margin-bottom: 14px;align-items: center\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px;flex-grow: 0;margin-right: 14px;margin-left: 2px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;flex-grow: 0;height: 20px;width: 20px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0;height: 0;border-top: 2px solid transparent;border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4;border-bottom: 2px solid transparent\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px;border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4;border-right: 8px solid transparent\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;flex-grow: 0;height: 12px;width: 16px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0;height: 0;border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4;border-left: 8px solid transparent\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex-direction: column;flex-grow: 1;justify-content: center;margin-bottom: 24px\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;margin-bottom: 6px;width: 224px\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;width: 144px\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C8zir1nNL0N\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" style=\"color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none\" target=\"_blank\">Une publication partag\u00e9e par NIKITA (@nikita_mazepin)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Excluded from Formula 1 since the beginning of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the driver had to take refuge in other categories of motorsport, outside of Europe.
