It's looking like Haas might replace Nikita Mazepin with Pietro Fittipaldi.

I wonder what happens to Daddy Mazapin's contribution to the team.
That would be a big hit, and they already removed the sponsor's logos.

Not sure but I read something that apparently they were going to pull out last year.

Oracle signed a 5 year deal with Red Bull worth $500 million to be their title sponsor.

Do Oracle sponsor Haas?
I thought they were somewhere else.

Like Red Bull.

Thrown onto the pavement and now he needs to speak out against Pootin.

“Haas F1 Team has elected to terminate, with immediate effect, the title partnership of Uralkali, and the driver contract of Nikita Mazepin,” said a statement from the team.

“As with the rest of the Formula 1 community, the team is shocked and saddened by the invasion of Ukraine and wishes for a swift and peaceful end to the conflict.”

Looks like Fittipaldi will be the reserve driver for Haas and Kevin Magnussen will be the one replacing Mazepin.

Must have lured kmag back with promises of a half decent car, he seemed pretty over it when he left.

Good to see Magnussen back. He deserves a seat.

Also Mazepin Snr has officially been added to the list of people being sanctioned, And Nakita due to his family association.

https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/mazepin-and-father-now-subject-to-eu-…

From the link above:

"In explaining the decision the EU noted that as the head of Uralkali Mazepin Sr "is involved in economic sectors providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine".

It also referenced the fact that along with 36 other business people he met with Vladimir Putin on February 24, the day that the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, to discuss its likely impact.

The EU notes that "the fact that he was invited to attend this meeting shows that he is a member of the closest circle of Vladimir Putin and that he is supporting or implementing actions or policies which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, as well as stability and security in Ukraine.

"It also shows that he is one of the leading businesspersons involved in economic sectors providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of Russia, which is responsible for annexation of Crimea and destabilisation of Ukraine.""

Christian Horner has already talked about Mercedes' new sidepod design.

"The new Mercedes violates the spirit of the regulations. For us, some parts are not legal."

Mercedes looks so different without sidepods , question will be is it allowed to race ? they do have that porpoising problem on straights , as Lewis his car was jumping around when they lowered the car

Definitely looks different.

Words from Wolff:

“I think we are really proud of what we have achieved in terms of concept,” said Wolff, “but now we need to make it go fast. I think it’s a development direction that we like, and it’s about tuning the car and so we are experimenting a lot, as we’ve done during the day, and approaching it with curiosity.

“I think there [are still] issues that are… Bahrain-specific,” added Wolff. “It’s very hot, you see a lot of cars still bouncing – some on the straights, others through the corners – so it’s a tuning question. And we haven’t really looked at performance data yet.”

Final times after day 1 of testing.



Verstappen, Ricciardo, Latifi, Tsunoda, and Schumacher didn't run any laps.
