Gunther Steiner has moved to end the controversy surrounding new Haas recruit Nikita Mazepin by suggesting kicking the Russian “in the face” is “not right”. “He realises that what was done wasn’t right,” he is quoted by the Sun newspaper. “I’m not the type of guy who kicks in the face someone who’s on their knees – that’s not right. “This is a young man who needs to grow up and for sure we have dealt with this and we will continue to deal with this,” Steiner added. We are educating him and will keep on educating him for his future.
