Formula One driver Nikita Mazepin has taken full responsibility after being filmed groping a woman.

The behaviour was condemned as “abhorrent” by his new Haas team in December. The video showed Mazepin apparently groping a woman's chest in a car. The video quickly circulated on Instagram Stories and across social networks before Mazepin deleted it.

He is the son of Russian billionaire Dmitry Mazepin, who financially backs the racing effort. The car's new livery carries the colours of the Russian flag: White on top, blue in the middle, red on the bottom - and the name of his father's fertilizer company. “It doesn't really bother me because I am proud of my family, proud of my father, and I am not taking this in a negative way,” Mazepin said. “I have to prove myself in F1 and I am going to do it.”

The season starts on March 28 at the Bahrain Grand Prix, with preseason also taking place in Bahrain next weekend.
