A Russian who started his Formula 1 debut season badly Nikita Mazepinas blocked the British in qualifying on Saturday Lando Norrisą (McLaren) and was fined 3 starting positions. There was a real “traffic jam” on the track at that time. Mazepin didn’t have much room to go and could get into another car or turn around and block Norris, so he didn’t think he had to apologize for anything.
“The last turn is very slow and the route is narrow. If two 5.5-meter-long cars are already driving around a corner, you can’t put a third car there, especially when a fourth driver is coming behind at full speed. No I could turn a corner and stay there because the end of my car would still have stayed on the race track. The only option was to turn around, which is what I did. It’s a shame all those things came together in one place There was nothing else I could do in this situation. I can’t just “disappear,” Mazepin said.
In Sunday’s race, the Russian was again last among the finishing drivers and was outscored by one lap twice. Mercedes driver Toto wolffas even approached the race director during the race Michael Masithat he would get Mazepin out of the way by showing him blue flags because he was obstructing the British Lewisui Hamiltonui.
“Michael, blue flags. Michael, we will lose our position through this guy, “T. Wolff said of N. Mazepin.
