Mental health played a central role in dealing with criticism: Nikita Mazepin
Nikita Mazepin got off to a disastrous start to his Formula 1 rookie season. The young Russian was embroiled in several controversies on and off the track. Since the start of the season, Mazepin has struggled to maneuver his car, has been involved in multiple falls and spun frequently. Eventually the young Russian got the nickname: “Labyrinth-Spin”.
When asked about his way of thinking and whether he has gained confidence, Nikita Mazepin told GPFans Global, “I went through some tough times, some study times.
“I think mental health is an important issue. There are people out there struggling a lot more than I am, so I can’t really complain. At the end of the day, when I drive to a racetrack in Bahrain, everything is new to me. “

“I think the confidence you are referring to has more to do with the fact that I’m not confident about driving this very fast new car that I only had a day and a half test in.
“Of course it’s one thing to test. The other thing is 19 very fast drivers with a very high speed. Life is a big learning curve. I keep getting better at everything I do and try to improve as the day goes on, ”added Mazepin.
