Nikita Mazepin will play for Haas in 2021 and that is the expectation of many Formula 1 followers. Haas is very pleased with the arrival of the Russian, who will also reportedly bring a large bag of money with his father Dmitry.
“I’m delighted that Nikita Mazepin will be driving for Haas F1 Team next season. Nikita has underlined his credentials in Formula 2 this year with a brace of victories and a handful of podiums in what’s been a strong sophomore season for him. He’s developed into a mature racer moving up through the junior ranks – notably most recently in the GP3 Series, where he finished runner-up in 2018, and obviously in Formula 2 over the past two seasons," Günther Steiner said in the Haas press release.

“Becoming a Formula 1 driver is a lifelong dream come true for me. With a record 23 races for the FIA ​​Formula 1 World Championship in 2021," Mazepin said.
“I really appreciate the trust being put in me by Gene Haas, Guenther Steiner, and the whole of the team. They’re giving a young driver an opportunity and I thank them for that. I’m looking forward to starting our relationship together, both on and off the track, and I’m naturally keen to continue to demonstrate my abilities after a strong Formula 2 season," the Russian concluded.
