WATCH: Nikita Mazepin Fumes at Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc During France Free Practice

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 extreme 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.

How will Mazepin do at the French GP?

The 22-year-old driver seems to be struggling in his first season in Formula One. The Russian is still yet to score his first-ever F1 points and currently sits in nineteenth place in the driver’s standings.

Mazepin’s best result came at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix where he placed fourteenth. However, he knows he has to improve in order to salvage his debut season and aims to improve as the season progresses.

The Haas rookie will be looking to keep the Haas car under control and will hope for a better result in the upcoming race weekend at Paul Ricard.

Do you think Mazepin will cross the line in a better position than he did in Baku? And avoid having heated moments with other drivers at the seventh round of the championship? Let us know in the comments below.
