The combination of a difficult 2021 season for Haas, coupled with the increasing demands of a 23-race plan for the next season, presents the team with the likely challenge of delivering their best staff in the best possible way.
But since Mazepin, the father of driver Nikita, is determined to do whatever it takes to help, he has come up with a plan to encourage staff to stay on board and stay fully motivated.
While Uralkali won’t change the terms of its sponsorship deal to increase funding for the team’s overall budget, Mazepin believes the new program is a great way to help the situation.
Speaking to the Russian broadcaster Match TV, he said on Thursday: “The existing contract is what we have, but for next year we are proposing a voluntary supplementary agreement to motivate employees to stay, to be more involved and to understand That it is difficult to maintain the cars during 23 races and to fly to 23 different countries.
“The human factor is very important here, which is why we want to work with the team to increase employee motivation. We as sponsors want to be part of the team. “
Uralkali has signed a long-term contract with Haas that was secured with the arrival of Nikita Mazepin.
Although the 2021 campaign was difficult for Haas as the team stopped developing their car to focus entirely on the 2022 campaign, Dmitry Mazepin is not discouraged by the year.
“We are happy,” he said. “First of all, we are grateful to the team that we have a common interest in such an agreement. The team has worked hard, but we see great opportunities that we can realize through joint efforts to achieve a higher result next.” Year.”

While Uralkali is closely linked to Nikita Mazepin’s career, it is clear to his father that the company’s ambitions in Formula 1 are not limited to the youngster.
Having been interested in buying Force India’s squad back in 2018, Dmitry realizes he’s open to the idea of buying a squad.
“We have great ambitions in motorsport and had an unsuccessful attempt to buy a Formula 1 team,” he said.
“It’s still a possibility for us. It has nothing to do with Nikita, but is driven by our long-term plans. On the contrary, we want to expand our presence in F1.
“We have the high-tech team that competes in Formula 4, Formula 3 and Formula 2, and the real crown of this journey would be to own a Formula 1 team and have the complete racing deck.”
When asked if his F1 ownership plans revolved around Haas or were not currently specific to a team, Mazepin said, “Not specific.
“Right now we’re not in negotiations because everyone is taking time out to see how things go in 2022, which team is successful and which isn’t.
“If a small team suddenly becomes successful in 2022, then of course its value and attractiveness will increase.”
