Nikita Mazepin, the Formula 1 racing driver dropped from his team following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, has turned to court to lift British sanctions, calling them “unlawful.”
Mazepin, who was sanctioned last year alongside his father Dmitry, the founder of fertilizer maker UralChem JSC, wants to begin talks with F1 teams in an attempt to restart racing for the 2024 season. He’d asked for an urgent court decision to get ahead of any negotiations, saying teams will be choosing new drivers over the summer.
