MOSCOW, Oct 17 British TV channel Sky Sports published a poster for the Grand Prix USA «Formula 1», on which the torso of the ex-pilot of the Haas team, Russian Nikita Mazepin, and the face of the current driver of the «stable» Kevin Magnussen are connected using computer editing. The US Grand Prix on the track in Austin will be held October 21-23 and will be home for Haas. A Sky Sports poster published on Facebook (Meta (social networks Facebook and Instagram) is banned in Russia as extremist) shows three pilots — Red Bull racer Max Verstappen, who guaranteed himself the championship ahead of schedule, as well as Haas pilots Kevin Magnussen and Mick Schumacher. On the overalls of the Dane, the logo of Moscow State University (MSU), with which Mazepin spoke, is visible, and on the overalls of Schumacher, the logo of the former sponsor of the Uralkali team. The installation provoked a playful reaction from attentive users. “Good photoshop, did you think that no one would notice Mazepin’s body?” wrote a user under the nickname Iñigo Bilbatua. «Uralkali» again the sponsor of «Haas»? Have you been drinking since Monday morning, gentlemen?» writes George Yankov. The 2022 season was supposed to be Mazepin's second in Formula 1. In 2021, the Russian made his debut in the «big prizes» without ever finishing in the points. In early March, Haas announced they were ending their partnership with Mazepin and Uralkali due to events in Ukraine, with Mazepin replaced by Magnussen.
