Motorsport UK’s statement comes after t🗹he FIA’s decisio🌸n to allow Russian and Belarusian drivers to still compete but under a neutral flag.

The Internatio🌸nal Olympic Committee (IOC) triggered the decisions on Monday after calling♎ for athletes from the aforementioned countries to be prevented from taking part in international events.

Motorsport UK hꦦas taken a harder stance than the FIA, meaning it is even more unlikely that Mazepin willﷺ keep his drive at Haas for 2022.

Each 🐻country’s governing body may decide to follow Motorsport UK's, making the FIA’s lighter verdict inconsequen⛄tial.

Motorsport UK has decided the following:

- No Russian/Belarusian licenced teams are approved to enter motorsport competitions in the𒊎 UK

- No Russian/Belarusian licenced competitors and officials are appro🔥ved to participate in UK motors🌟port events

- No Russian/Belarusian nat♈ional symbols, colours, flags (on uniform, ꩵequipment and car) to be displayed at Motorsport UK permitted event

Formula 2🉐 and Formula 3 outfit Hitech Grand Prix has decided to remove Uralkali logos from its cars ahead of testing in Ba🅘hrain.

Ex-F1 and current WEC driver Daniil Kvyat is due to compete in this year's endurance championship, but with no UK r𓆉ounds scheღduled and thus he will be allowed to compete under a neutral FIA flag.

Motorsport UK chairman David Richards said: “It is our duty to 🙈use whatever influence and leverage we might have to bring this wholly unjustified invasion of Ukraine to a h🎉alt.

“We would encourage the motorsport community and our colleagues around the world to fully embrace the recommendations of tไhe International Olympic Committee and do whatever we can to end this war.”
