Mazepin, who is a pilot for the Haas team, sneaked into a dramatic between Pumas UNAM against the Braves of Ciudad Juárez. The locals rescued the result in the last minute against the border commanded by Tuca Ferreti.
The Russian also took advantage of his visit to the Valley of Mexico to walk through the archaeological ruins of Teotihuacán and tour the Historic Center of CDMX.
In addition to receiving the respect and admiration of the Pumas, the Braves also gave their jersey to the pilot, who will race next Sunday, October 24, the Grand Prix of the Americas in Austin, capital of Texas, in the United States. The 22-year-old Muscovite is looking for his first points in this 2021 Season, right now he occupies the last place of the Formula 1 series.
The Russian pilot has faced discussions with Checo Pérez. At the Austrian Grand Prix, the Russian Mazepin annoyed the man from Guadalajara. Pérez was on a frank comeback when he ran into Nikita, who was two laps behind and did not get out to give way to the Guadalajara as set by the rules of Formula 1. Checo was such annoyance that he called Mazepin an “idiot” for the radio. That interference and a failure in the pits took the Mexican off the podium.
