Nikita Mazepin, a former Formula One driver, wants the Federal Court to direct Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly to take immediate steps to remove him from…
Canada has sanctioned hundreds of Russian individuals and organizations over Moscow’s attack on Ukraine, prohibiting financial dealings linked to Canada.
The sanctions hinder Mazepin’s ability to take part in racing events in Canada or have dealings with Canadians, which “catastrophically reduces” his eligibility for a return to the Formula One circuit next year, the application says. Shortly after, the European Union levied sanctions against Mazepin but a court has since granted interim relief allowing him to pursue his career in the EU.Negotiations for the 2024 F1 season will begin this spring or summer, making the case urgent, the court application says.
Mazepin asked Global Affairs last year for the rationale behind his listing, even submitting an Access to Information request seeking details, but was unsuccessful, the notice adds.
