Storm in a teacup.
Mazepin faced an open media call for the first time since the video was posted last week. The opening 13 minutes of a 20-minute session were almost exclusively filled with questions from journalists about what happened.

When asked directly about what he had learned in relation to treatment of women and his conduct with women, the questioner citing the disappointment of female F1 fans may feel, Mazepin again spoke about the example he set as an F1 driver.

It's punching Illot.

It's threatening to out George Russell

It's using his car as a weapon on track etc.

It's using social media to offer paddock access in return for sex.

The guy is disgusting.

Besides the punch, I had NO idea about these other things. What's the whole Russell thing about?

And why is this guy even allowed in top level motorsport if these are true.

Re George Russell being outed.... he has been going out with Seychelle (sister of Nick) de Vries for years..... certainly when he was in GP3 and seen pics of them together at recent GPs.

And yes Mazepin is the epitomy of everything unpleasant. It seems money can buy forgiveness. Certainly the money worked on Haas sweeping things under the carpet.

Oh, come on! How someone dares to put media darling George Russell in a bad light? Least of all that someone being Russian and Great Britain thriving on massive anti-Russian bias? We ain't seen the last of this :tongue:

It doesn't matter that it's about Russell. The insinuation that somebody is gay is totally wrong, regardless of the truth in the matter.

If he was gay, he's clearly taken a decision not to say anything.

If he isnt, this is extremely damaging to his personal brand in countries where homosexuality isn't accepted.

Go back to thinking about Kubica and how he can't get a drive, even with money behind him.

I don't really care about Kubica. And your comments are worth your nickname - a Double Fart. Go insult someone else. You're obviously an anti-Polish xenophob.

I have to warn you that is quite a serious accusation and is not to be taken lightly. If you have any problems talk to a moderator.

The only thing that's wrong is using it as an insult. And if there are any countries out there who are anti-homosexuality then they should be boycotted, but there are, and they won't since F1 is visiting half a dozen such countries every year.

Exactly the problem - you're walking into the lion's den just doing your job if you're gay and in F1/F2 these days.

On the plus side, Mazepin won't grab your chest.
