Haas driver Nikita Mazepin has tested positive for Covid-19 and will not take part in Sunday’s season-ending Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi, his team said.
“Nikita is physically well, having been asymptomatic, but he will now self-isolate and adhere to the guidelines of the relevant public health authorities, with safety the ultimate priority for all parties concerned,” Haas said in a statement.
“Uralkali Haas F1 Team wish Nikita well and we look forward to his return to the race track in early 2022 for pre-season testing.”
Haas reserve driver Pietro Fittipaldi is in Abu Dhabi, but Formula One organisers explained that because the Brazilian hasn’t taken part in at least one session this weekend, he is not eligible to stand in for the Russian.
