Russian billionaire Dmitry Mazepin is reportedly looking to buy a Formula One team to ensure his son, Nikita, has a place on the grid next season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netherlands-based F1 news publication GPBlog.com<\/a> reports that Mazepin is especially interested in the Haas F1 team, claiming that he has tabled an offer \u201cwhich few teams would refuse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When approached for comment on the matter by Formula1News.co.uk, the Haas F1 team<\/a> flatly rejected claims that its ownership is poised to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe team is not for sale,\u201d the American racing outfit told Formula1News.co.uk<\/a> managing editor Suliman Mulhem<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nikita Mazepin<\/a>, who currently sits sixth in the Formula Two Drivers\u2019 Standings, is in a good position to qualify for a super licence at the end of the season, so he could make the jump to F1 provided he is able to find a team to race with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018, he finished second in the now-defunct GP3 Series and subsequently progressed to F2, but had a poor first year which saw him finish down in 18th<\/sup> place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn\u2019t the first time his father has been rumoured to be eyeing a takeover of a Formula One team, with previous reports suggesting he had an interest in buying the Renault F1 team, Williams Racing and Force India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latter was ultimately rescued by Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll<\/a>, whose son, Lance, was signed by the team following the takeover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
