He did not enjoy his Formula 1 debut for long. His Haas team is considered the biggest outsider at the beginning of the season, and shortly after the sharp start of the Bahrain Grand Prix he made a gross riding mistake. Russian rookie Nikita Mazepin lost control of his monopost, flew off the track and quickly hit his premiere by hitting the wall. He left the stage on a motorcycle, which the organizers sent for him. You can watch the accident in the attached video.

He has a reputation for being a protective son. The main partner of the Haas team is the Russian company Uralkali, the world’s largest producer of potash fertilizers. The owner of the company is billionaire Dmitry Mazepin, the pilot’s father. Thanks to his father’s money, Nikita Mazepin makes his debut in F1 this year alongside Mick Schumacher, who for a change is the son of the legendary pilot Michael Schumacher.
In any case, the young Mazepin did not make a bad debut. It only lasted a few seconds. In the third turn, he lost control of his car, flew off the track and ended up hitting a protective wall. He was lucky to have managed the impact in good health.
