Mazepin is looking forward to race other drivers on the gird with not Lewis Hamilton or Max Verstappen being the main target but holding a permanent position rather than being frequently lapped.

In an interview, Mazepin said, “I feel like I have that confidence. I remember it was very scary at the first race in Bahrain because the cars are very long and wide. But now I’m in a good place, so driving a more balanced car and a more predictable car should make it easier and more enjoyable. For me, mainly fighting with people, I need to know exactly where my rear wing ends and where the front wing ends so I know exactly how to position my car next to them.”

Nikita Mazepin received way too much criticism last season, however, he will look to answer his critics in style in 2022. With a new machinery and experience under his belt, he could really turn things around.
