I'm sure the driver meetings are pretty awkward for him. I know that all drivers get in the way of one and other at various times but he does seem to be a fan of parking his car in the wrong place when he is crawling around the track.

Gunther definitely doesn't look impressed in that video either hehe
Gunther surely hates the kid - but if Haas had sold the team instead of selling the seat to mazepin.. he'd probably be out of a job. I would assume in that scenario the new iteration of the team would find itself with a Russian TP.

Are they staging this stuff...? Either way, it's certainly helping to present a more pleasant side of Mazepin.

The driving is still an issue! But this is at least helping and very humourous smile
yes

It's PR bullst, don't fall for it.

0.2 behind Schumacher yesterday, 0.5 behind him today, and feeling lost with setting up the car. The military service might be a good idea https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/mazepin-feeling-...

Whatever happened today, the results will state that Mazepin had the fastest lap at the 2021 Belgian Grand Prix.

I've done a faster lap than that in my S2000!

Fastest slow lap at the worst ever race in the history of F1.

His dad only had to pay about $50m for this achievement wink

Does he get half a point for that?

Only if he is in the top 10, so, no.

A decent summary of his F1 career to date, decent humour too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJE5miWgQOY

Note, it's a week old so already out of date - thanks to his terrible attitude and dangerous driving at Zandvoort rolleyes

Mick and all other drivers passing Marzipan need to understand his mobile chicanery.

In karting, someone would have fired him off long ago and then presented their MSA licence to the CoC for obligatory fine and endorsement of badge of honour points.

Lap 1 swiping his team mate along the pit straight on Sunday must have stimulated Steiner's tourettes.

He is too dangerous to be allowed to race.

If only that were true. The reality is, he is allowed to race.

OK Ralph is not exactly neutral, but JB isn't partisan.

Remember the video that appeared soon after he signed for Haas?

He also claimed that people should ignore the video, and instead judge him on his driving.

Ok, fair enough. So... still an ahole when it comes to driving then wink

There is not a single aspect of his life or personality, in or out of F1, that this goof has been able to demonstrate, that suggests he has any interest in the welfare of anyone but himself. What an absolutely clattering great cu...

bless.
