A 15-year-old Russian go-kart driver has apologized after he appeared to give a Nazi salute on the racing podium at the FIA Karting European Championship in Portugal over the weekend.
Artem Severiukhin claims he was gesturing to his family and friends at the time — but amid the fallout, he has been cut by his team, Ward Racing, and the international motorsports' governing body has opened an investigation into the matter.
In video footage of the incident Sunday, Severiukhin, who is seen standing atop the podium, thumps his chest with his fist twice and appears to hold his hand out in a Nazi-like salute before doubling over laughing.
