Russian Formula One driver Nikita Mazepin joined his oligarch father Dmitry on an EU sanctions blacklist on Wednesday, after being fired by the U.S.-owned Haas team last week following his country's invasion of Ukraine.
The move means Mazepin, 23, would have been unable to compete in many of the races even if his contract had not been terminated.
The Russian spoke earlier to reporters by video link from Moscow, hitting back at Haas and announcing a foundation to support athletes prevented from competing due to war or politics.
The official journal of the European Union described Belarus-born chemicals billionaire Dmitry Mazepin, who has funded his son's racing career, as "a member of the closest circle" of president Vladimir Putin.
