'Haas says goodbye to Mazepin, Fittipaldi will test in Bahrain next week'

Haas seems to have tied the knot: Nikita Mazepin will not drive for the team from America this season. This is reported by the German Sky Sports. As a result, it also seems increasingly likely that UralKali will not be found on the car in 2022.

According to Sky, Pietro Fittipaldi is the driver who will replace Mazepin this season. If the Brazilian will drive the entire season this season, we will have a full-time Brazilian F1 driver back on the grid for the first time since Felipe Massa. Fittipaldi already has two races on his name, when he had to fill in for Romain Grosjean in the end of 2020.

Haas hat sich nach Sky Informationen von Nikita Mazepin getrennt.

Ersatzfahrer Pietro Fittipaldi soll das Cockpit von Mazepin übernehmen und bereits bei den Testfahrten in Bahrain am Steuer sitzen. #skyf1
