What happened to Haas in 2021?
They were replaced by Russian Nikita Mazepin, and 2020 Formula 2 Championship winner Mick Schumacher, son of seven-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher. To survive financially, the team opted to halt the development of the 2021 car, instead focusing resources on the 2022 car. Sacked Formula One driver Nikita Mazepin says his dismissal by Haas left him with no trust in the team. US-owned team Haas had been under immense pressure to act on Russian driver Mazepin’s future following his country’s invasion of Ukraine, with sport around the world cutting ties with Russia.
