Former Russian Formula 1 driver Nikita Mazepin, who was sanctioned in the wake of the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine, visited Italy after receiving a visa from the country as he seeks to revive his racing career.
“I have indeed traveled to Italy for professional reasons, as the president of the General Court authorized me to do,” Mazepin said by email Tuesday. “However limited this first opportunity was, I see it as a valuable step to rebuilding my sporting career.”
