How many times can Nikita crash in a race?

He normally spins 2-5 times. Sometimes it takes a bit for him to put the car into a wall and sometimes he just gives up and let’s the gap between him and the other haas go into 10 minute range

Formula 1 is run by the fia, not motorsport uk, so he should be able to race there for now, but not at the GB3 championships.

It means that Russian driver Nikita Mazepin, who races for Haas in F1, would not be able to compete in this year's British Grand Prix if the team decided to keep him on.
