Joining hands and going toe to toe with Mick Schumacher will be Nikita Mazepin. Much like Schumi Jr., the 21-year-old driver from Moscow will also be making his Formula 1 debut in 2021. Nikita Mazepin has been fighting for the drivers’ championship in Formula 2 driving with the Hitech Grand Prix team.
As it stands, Haas have let go of both their drivers, investing in rookie talent. Will this prove to be a good move? As Guenther Steiner mentioned, it’ll either work out or it will blow up in our faces. Either way, it’ll be a great learning experience.
