I cant imagine the paydriver scenario was part of the original vision of HAAS either... yet if it was... they have achieved their aim How fast can you afford to go? |

Wonder if Haas got the money for the full season upfront or they are now waiting for cash transfers in suitcases for the team now?

looks like HAAS can continue with Mazepin
FIA allowes russians but no flag or anthem (not that would be likely with him...) |

who says he can't bring any money? this just seems to be something people are assuming based on it becoming difficult on the banking front.

would assume Haas will be looking for another sponsor, money, and/or another driver who could help with both? |

I also tend to agree that the FIA allowing drivers to compete, but without flags is a bit tone deaf. Nothing against Nikita Mazepin, but the idea of banning Russian Belarusian drivers is that you are taking action against the country as a whole. In this case, the athletes. You might say that is unfair, but what regular Ukrainian citizens are going through is also not particularly fair either. Richard |

If BP and Shell are each willing to take a $25billion hit to hurt Russia and preserve some integrity then sport should be willing to do the same. If Russian and Belarusian athletes want to compete in any sport they should be willing to renounce their nationality as a first marker of their disgust with Putin. The world tiptoed around invading dictators 90 years ago.It doesn’t want to make the same mistake again this time. |

Considering the new & strong sanctions against Russian interests being introduced by UK and US and EU governments, I do not understand how Mazepin Snr, with his links to Putin will be able to bypass this and pay a USA based team for sponsership. Surely Mazepin snr and his companies are on the sanctions list?

without understanding exactly the type of “fertiliser” his company produces, i suspect they would be counted under “dual purpose”. otherwise no, they’re not specifically targeted, just like the oil companies aren’t to protect ourselves to a small degree.
they would obviously be affected via banking, but if the sponsorship money came from a country outside of financial sanctions and the company itself isn’t affected by actual sanctions… there are no personal restrictions on maz snr, though i’m not sure of his passport or residential visa situation, same as jnr. |

I have a rally driving friend who had a Ukrainian wife who is with her family at the moment hiding in a cellar.
Everyone should be doing anything to spike Putin and his rich allies. The FIA needs to take a tough line that other sports and have no links at all with Russia or Russian money. |

Hopefully Haas can avoid controversy this way. Just need Mazepin to get some results this year and hopefully the team can distance themselves from Putin. There will definitely be as much effort to avoid bad publicity as possible, without changing drivers

I can’t understand people on here -or anywhere for that matter-thinking that some sort of business as usual scenario can apply to anything or anyone Russian. BTW Exon Mobil has joined BP and Shell in walking away from Russia.3 companies have collectively swallowed $75billion to remove any association with this international pariah and you think an American race team owner can massage the message to make a Russian driver and Russian money acceptable? |

1. Haas Keeping Mazepin and 2. Haas distancing themselves from Putin By keeping Mazepin, the team will never be able to distance themselves from Putin links. The two things are incompatible I think. |
