Nikita Mazepin

Russian racing driver.

Son of Dmitry Mazepin, the founder of a chemical company.

On 9 December 2020, Mazepin posted an Instagram story in which he appeared to inappropriately grope a woman's breasts. In a statement, the Haas F1 Team rebuked Mazepin's actions and called the video "abhorrent". Mazepin also released an apology, stating "I have to hold myself to a higher standard as a Formula 1 driver and I acknowledge I have let myself and many people down", but the apology was deleted nine days later.

This is not the only controversy he was involved in. He once punched Callum Ilott, a fellow racing driver, in 2016, and he caused a crash that almost hospitalized a Japanese driver just for being Japanese. He's xenophobic, perverted, and overall a jerk.
