“First of all, it is very important to say that my actions in December were wrong. I take full responsibility for it.”
This is how Nikita Mazepin began the interview he gave to ‘ESPN’ where the Russian pilot spoke for the first time openly about all the controversy that arose at the beginning of December when he published an inappropriate video on his Instagram account where he was seen trying groping the breasts of the influencer Andrea D’lVal.

The people who have been with me these last 21 years know who I am. It is very difficult to be false towards people and I am far from being like that”, he expands about this recording that he was about to download from the Haas before making his debut in the Formula 1 World Championship.

I have had my ups and downs, but it is part of life. I think my riding has to speak for me, to a greater extent. I think I’m a very good driver, I think I’m fast. I’m looking forward to showing people who don’t like me that I have good driving skills. That can change your perception of me.”
