Haas is about to execute “complete separation” from Nikita Mazepin, according to former Formula 1 driver Ralf Schumacher. F1’s suspension of the Russian GP at Sochi has now become total and permanent exclusion from the sport. “It means that Russia will no longer have a race in the future,” Formula 1 confirmed. “This complete separation has to happen now,” Ralf Schumacher told Sky Deutschland, referring to Mazepin. “But now, to please western politicians, unreasonable sanctions are being imposed on Russia in the form of exclusion of our sports federations, removal of Russian athletes from participation in international competitions, and termination of our Formula 1 contract.
