About Nikita Mazepin

Nikita Dmitryevich Mazepin (born 2 March 1999) is a Russian racing driver who currently competes in the FIA Formula 2 Championship for Hitech Racing.
2016 saw Mazepin compete in the 2016 FIA Formula 3 European Championship for Hitech Grand Prix. It was a disappointing season which saw him amassing four points-scoring finishes and finishing 20th in the championship, the lowest position of a driver competing at every race. Nonetheless, Mazepin would be retained for another season. He improved a lot compared to his first season, scoring 108 points and finishing on the podium on three occasions. He finished one place behind teammate Ralf Aron, who was in 9th.
Mazepin signed for the new Hitech Grand Prix Team to drive alongside Italian Luca Ghiotto.
