Haas condemns Mazepin's 'detestable' behavior

This is not the first time that Mazepin has hit the headlines. The hot-blooded Russian stood out in a negative way in 2016 when he stuck his fist in Callum Ilott's face after a qualifying session for the European Championship. Formula 3. 

Feeling the wind, Mazepin apologized online. 

« I would like to apologize for my recent behavior, both because these actions were inappropriate and also because a video was posted online, wrote the one who finished 5th in the last championship of Formula 2. 

I am sorry for the justified outrage I have caused, and I am sorry for embarrassing the Haas team. I have to hold myself to very high standards as an F1 driver. I have disappointed a lot of people, starting with myself. I promise to learn the necessary lessons from it ».
