💨 Abstract

Russian oligarch Dmitry Mazepin, a close associate of President Vladimir Putin, attended Formula One's pre-season testing in Bahrain, causing a stir. Mazepin's son previously raced for Haas team before Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, leading to the deal's termination. It is unclear how Mazepin secured a paddock pass as EU sanctions do not apply in Bahrain.
