Axed F1 driver Nikita Mazepin and his father Dmitry have had a EUR 100 million property seized by Italian authorities. Having claimed he is the victim of “cancel culture” over the Russia-Ukraine war, 23-year-old Mazepin has reportedly had financial assets seized. “Following verifications on subjects that are part of the current European Union sanctions list, an impounding order was served on Dmitry Mazepin and his son Nikita Mazepin, a driver with the Formula 1 team Haas until March 5,” the authorities confirmed. Mazepin senior, who met with Vladimir Putin on the day of the start of the Ukraine invasion, was earlier named by the EU as part of the “closest circle of Putin”.
