Haas look set to confirm Nikita Mazepin's replacement early next week according to reports, after the Russian driver was sacked as a result of his nation's invasion of Ukraine.

Mazepin, 23, joined Haas at the start of last season's Formula One campaign.

The Moscow-born talent failed to record a top 10 finish throughout his maiden season with his best weekend seeing him end 14th at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Mazepin had signed a multi-year deal with the team however and was set to enter his second campaign this year.

Yet due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Haas have taken the decision to terminate his deal.

And the Russian's replacement is reportedly set to be decided next week, according to the BBC.

The report states that the drivers said to be under consideration include the team's reserve Pietro Fittipaldi.
