Biography
Nikita Mazepin Biography
Nikita Mazepin (RUS) Sahara Force India F1 Team Development Driver.
Formula One Testing, Tuesday 28th November 2017. Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, UAE.
Nikita Mazepin is Haas Formula 1 Team’s driver for the 2021 season, making the step up from Formula 2 after an outstanding 2020 campaign for Hitech Grand Prix where he has already claimed two victories.
Having turned a wheel for the first time aged 7, Nikita Mazepin has risen through the ranks with flying colours. Since making his single-seater debut in 2014, the young Russian has consistently showcased his talent and versatility across various categories.
2018 was Nikita’s breakthrough year as he ended the GP3 Series season as vice-champion. He stepped up to Formula 2 with Hitech Grand Prix in 2019 and then tested for reigning Formula 1 world champions Mercedes, topping the timesheets at the Barcelona mid-season test.
In 2020, Nikita truly came to fore as he narrowly missed out on the Formula 2 title. While the grandest prize may have alluded him, the 21-year-old caught the attention of the Formula 1 paddock with his aggressive overtakes and stunning race pace, which led to wins at Silverstone and Mugello.
For 2021, Nikita becomes the fourth Russian driver to race in Formula 1. On a multi-year deal with the American team Haas, he will make his debut this 2021 season.
In his debut season in Formula 1, Mazepin struggled, along with his point-less Haas team. He was also outperformed by Mick Schumacher, his teammate, with a clear gap in qualifying and in the races. Schumacher outqualified him 19-3 and also finished ahead in 16 of the 22 races.
