Earlier this week, the FIA announced in response to the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) call for athletes from Russia and Bel🔜arus to be prevented from taking part in international events, that drivers from the aforementioned countries will be forced to race under a neutral flag.

The decision comes after R﷽ussia invaded Ukraine, leading to a war betweꦛen the two countries.

This has led to further widespread fallout in theཧ motorsport world with Haas removing title sponsor Uralkali from its car for the final day of testing in Barcelona, while Russian driver Nikita Mazepin’s futu༒re is under serious doubt.

On Thursday, F1 announced it has terminated its deal with the Russian Grand Prix, meaning it will not featur✅e on the calendar for the foreseeable future.

The FIA has explained what drivers from Ru♐ssia and Belarus are allowed but also not all𒈔owed to do in a ‘driver commitment’ document.

The key points include:

-  Accept you represent✃ yourself as an individual in a neutral capacity, not the country.

- Russian/Belarusian n🌄ational symbols, colours or flags are banned in public or on social media.

- Flags, emblems, symbols and words related to the countries are banned from display on uniforms, clot🍎hing, accessories and other personal items.

- The singing or 𓆉playing of either country’s natioꦕnal anthem.

- Expressing views or actions about Russi♏a's invasion of Ukraine

All drivers will be required to signౠ this document to ඣbe able to compete in FIA events this year.

However, Britain’s motorsport body, Motorsport UK, confirmed that Russian and Belarusian drivers wouldn’t be allowed to competꦗe in events in the country meaning Mazepin woul꧅d be ruled out of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
