Nikita Mazepin is disappointed in Haas. According to the driver, the American racing team has still not paid him the overdue salary to which he is entitled, which is why he is insisting the team pay him. He told Sport RBC.

Last season, the racing driver experienced his first year in Formula 1. It was not very successful, but nevertheless Haas chose to continue with each other. After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, however, the Americans decided to part company with him immediately.

Mazepin looks back on how this was handled with an unpleasant feeling. "When the contract was terminated, Haas had an outstanding salary for me for 2022. And they still haven't paid it. I'm just talking about the fact that contractual obligations have not been fulfilled," he told the Russian medium.

Magnussen's successor is in a difficult period

His successor Kevin Magnussen can count on a lot of enthusiasm this season. The Dane performed well in the beginning of the season and finished fifth, ninth, fourteenth and ninth. From the Grand Prix in Miami onwards, however, things went downhill and he crashed out three times in five races.
