Nikita Mazepin, a former Formula One driver, wants to be removed from the Canadian sanctions list, saying they are unfairly hurting his career
A Russian race-car driver is taking Canada to court, saying sanctions imposed against him following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine are unfairly hurting his career.
Mazepin is also asking the court to order interim relief that would allow him to take part in racing activities in Canada. The sanctions hinder Mazepin’s ability to take part in racing events in Canada or have dealings with Canadians, which “catastrophically reduces” his eligibility for a return to the Formula One circuit next year, the application says.
If Mazepin is not able to participate in the next F1 season, which would be his third consecutive missed season, “it will be extremely difficult – if not impossible – for him to be recruited again as an F1 driver or as a driver in other motorsport championships.”
