Former Formula 1 driver Nikita Mazepin has had sanctions against him lifted by the European Union’s General Court.
In a ruling that was made on Wednesday, the European Union said that it could not justify the ex-Haas F1 racer remaining on a list of individuals that have had sanctions imposed on them as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. At the time, Mazepin and his father Dmitry were singled out as persons who were subject to restrictive measures, which included the freezing of funds and bans from entering the territory of Member States.
And while his father’s Uralkali business had sponsored his racing activities previously, its backing was no longer a factor since he had lost his drive at Haas. #98 99 Racing Oreca 07 - Gibson: Nikita Mazepin Photo by: JEP / Motorsport Images In a statement issued by the General Court, it argued that putting Mazepin on the sanction list – simply because of the association with his father – was wrong.
