Hitech GP, F1 entry … Candidate for sale of Aufa Tauri F1[F1-Gate.com]

Hitech GP has reportedly expressed interest in joining the F1 grid. The FIA ​​(Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile) last month began the process for teams entering the existing 10-team championship. Andretti-Cadillac is the most likely favorite, but F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali is keen to highlight that there are also teams that are “less visible”.

According to GPFans, Hitech GP, the F2 and F3 team, has moved to enter F1. If Red Bull puts the AlphaTauri F Team up for sale, the Hitech GP has been picked up by the German media as a possible candidate. Hitech GP runs Isaac Hajar and Jack Crawford in F2, Sebastian Montoya in F3, and Red Bull junior drivers on Red Bull-colored machines, and takes over the status of the young development place from the Alpha Tauri F1 team. there is a possibility. A successful bid would come after a tumultuous year for Hitech, which saw the loss of the team’s main sponsor and the blame for its lead driver. Former Haas F1 driver Nikita’s father Dmitry Mazepin, who financed Hitech through the Uralkali brand, was forced to relinquish his position in the aftermath of last year’s Russian invasion of Ukraine. A few months later, Yuri Bips put the team in the spotlight after using racist language during a game commentary. The Estonian remained at Hitech despite being dropped from Red Bull’s junior programme, drawing widespread criticism of the team. F1 and the FIA ​​will now have to decide if the new team is a good fit to join the existing ones, with the earliest date for a new entry being 2025. Dmitry Mazepin’s plan to establish an F1 team with Hitech Dmitry Mazepin was planning to establish an F1 team with Hitec. The hi-tech F1 team’s plans were wiped out by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but there’s no denying the possibility of a resurgence. Earlier this year, Dmitry Mazain’s Uralkali and Oliver Oaks’ Hitech had a significant amount of activity with the UK government’s business registry. In January Uralkali Racing Limited was incorporated at the same address as the Hitech Grand Prix. Two months later, after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the departure of Dmitry Mazepin’s son Nikita Mazepin from Haas and his F1, Uralkali Racing filed for dissolution. But around the same time, two other important actions were taken. Hitech F1 Team Limited was established and Hitech Global Holdings Ltd was established to become the majority owner of the Hitech Grand Prix. Oliver Oakes and Hitech Global Holdings Ltd were also owners of Hitech F1 Team Ltd. It was soon renamed Hitech GP, but is still separate from Hitech Grand Prix. Incidentally, all of these companies are registered at the same Silverstone address. Uralkali/Mazepin’s interest in owning an F1 team dates back several years. They were trying to buy Force India. There were also rumors of a takeover of Haas F1 Team when Nikita Mazepin was driving for Haas F1 Team. Even so, it is fair to consider it at least as evidence that interest in establishing an F1 team was ongoing at the time. Dmitry Mazepin is a longtime partner of Oliver Oakes and all activities took place earlier this year so the situation caused by Russia has been resolved and the FIA ​​(Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile) on full Russian involvement in F1. ) change positions, the collaboration may not come as a surprise.
