F1 isn't political, it's capitalist. Mazepin lost to that, not the politics. If they cared one bit about politics they wouldn't race in all the countries they do. It's a stupid club he created, for stupid reasons.

Hamilton is a GOAT level driver. Unless you’re that good (and even then, it’s really hard) this is a playground for rich boys.
Schumacher was a pay driver. Nikki Lauda was a pay driver. Mick Schumacher, Jacques Villeneuve, Nico Rosberg etc have famous fathers. They’re also talented, but if their last names were Fassbender, Clouseau and Maier, from upper-middle class households, and not the sons of F1 drivers (champions or otherwise) you wouldn’t know who they were.
Lancelot’s dad bought him an F1 team and then bought Aston Martin.
Sometimes pay drivers work. Sometimes they don’t.
Mazepin didn’t, and not a tear has been shed, because Mazepin is awful on many levels.
