Down-the-line.com / Formula 1. Former Formula 1 driver Nikita Mazepin, who played for Haas, spoke about the team’s debts. The American team terminated its contract with him before the start of this season amid events in Ukraine.

“First of all, the salary – they didn’t pay it last year. They should have paid me monthly, but as there were minor issues with the accounting, it happened when it worked.

You understand that I cannot name the amount. How many zeros? Five six. I would like to go to the accounting department, but the sanctions do not allow me to steal.

There is a salary, there are bonuses, there are material losses lost from the expected amounts – if it is a long-term contract, a person relies on these amounts. Then there are image losses, there is a Formula 1 car, which was put under contract and also did not come to our country – last year it has nothing to do with this year,” Mazepin told Avtoradio.
