Nikita Mazepin will not lose his Haas Formula 1 seat a team statement confirmed on Wednesday, amid speculation to the contrary.
The Russian driver has come under fire after posting a video on Instagram of him continuing to grab a woman’s breast after being repeatedly told to stop.
It now seems that the matter has been discussed within the team and Mazepin looks set to avoid further punishment, with the American-owned outfit not going into any detail about the action that has been taken.
“Haas F1 Team would like to reaffirm that Nikita Mazepin and Mick Schumacher will form its driver line-up for the 2021 FIA Formula 1 World Championship,” the team wrote in a statement released on Wednesday.
