WATCH: Nikita Mazepin Fumes at Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc During France Free Practice
Follow Us
Nikita Mazepin is going through a rough patch in his debut season in Formula One. The Haas rookie driver did have some heated moments with other drivers on the track as they zipped around. However, the Russian driver is in hot waters with Ferrari again, as he had some choice of words for the Scuderia.
Furthermore, at previous venues such as Spain and Azerbaijan, both Ferrari drivers, Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc, did show their frustration for Mazepin on the team radio.
Let’s hope that both drivers can produce a clean race on Sunday and reduce the number of cuss words on the team radio as they zip around the track.
