Motorsport UK’s state🙈ment comes after the FIA’s decision to allow Russian and Belarusian drivers to still compete but under a neutral flag.

The International ܫOlympic 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 has taken a ha🍌rder stance than the FIA, meaning it is even more unlikely that Mazepin will keep 🐼his drive at Haas for 2022.

Each country’s governing body may decide to foll𒀰ow Motorsport UK's, making the FIA’s lighter verdict incoꦫnsequential.

Motorsport UK has decided the following:

- No Russian/Belarusian licenc𝕴ed teams are approved to enter motorsport competitions in the UK

🅰- No Russian/Belarusian licenced competitors and offic✨ials are approved to participate in UK motorsport events

- No Russian/Belarusia♏n national symbols, colours, flags (on unifo♒rm, equipment and car) to be displayed at Motorsport UK permitted event

Formula 2 and Formula 3 outfit Hitech Grand Prix h꧂as decided to remove Uralkali logos from its ca💛rs ahead of testing in Bahrain.

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

Motorsport UK chairman David Richar🔯ds said: “It is our duty to use whatever i🥃nfluence and leverage we might have to bring this wholly unjustified invasion of Ukraine to a halt.

“We would encourage the motorsport c🦹ommunity and our colleagues around the wor🐟ld to fully embrace the recommendations of the International Olympic Committee and do whatever we can to end this war.”
