So I've just caught up with the latest thing Mazepin's done and yeah... this can't be allowed to continue.

Let's not get it twisted, what he did in that Insta story is sexual assault and in a normal world every job on this damn planet would dispose of his services over it.
The woman was filmed without her consent, as evidenced by the fact she was blind drunk and sticking fingers up at him as he reached back. She was exploited. He reached an arm out to grope her after this.

THAT IS SEXUAL ASSAULT. NO IFS, NO BUTS.
So for anyone trying to blame that woman or saying they were going to a hotel as consenting adults, fuck you.

It's also the guys in this community's job now to fight against this because along with the #WeSayNoToMazepin # there's bound to be misogynist abuse towards women.
But not only do male fans have to do the work and set each other straight while defending those brave enough to speak out, but F1 media need to start latching onto this.

Haas will come out with the usual statement, Nikita too and they'll hope it all blows over.
But this plus his previous controversies are sackable offences and calling for anything less is unacceptable if #WeRaceAsOne, the promises for gender diversity and so on are of actual importance. If everyone with a meaningful platform fence-sits yet again it's a disgrace.
So for everyone calling out to F1's many journalists, commentators, pundits etc. to start ramping up the pressure and put their actions where their 'hopes for the future' are, good on you. You're doing what's needed. It's about time everyone called a spade a fucking spade.
