Steiner blames internet hate for Mazepin's poor debut race

Haas F1 boss Guenther Steiner believes that the intense criticism that Nikita Mazepin received in the off-season was partly to blame for his poor performance at the season-opening Bahrain GP. 

The Russian driver received a lot of hate on social media late last year, over a controversial video in which he reportedly groped a woman. 

In Bahrain, Mazepin spun multiple times and crashed out in the opening lap of the race.
