Mazepin won the Saturday race of the STT series in Spa.

      Nikita Mazepin's return to the international motorsport arena is going quite successfully. We reported that yesterday he set the best time on the track in Spa, which he knows well, and will start from pole position in Saturday's German STT race.

      Today he climbed to the top of the podium, although it can be assumed that he himself is not inclined to exaggerate the significance of this victory. The STT features both professionals and advanced amateur racers, so the level of competition in this series is not particularly impressive, and compared to most participants, Nikita is a true master.

      Let us remind you that he has several seasons under his belt in youth championships of the highest level, victories in GP3, Formula 2, the Asian Le Mans Series, the Silk Way Rally, and 21 starts in Formula 1.

      Moreover, he strives to maintain excellent physical shape, and there is no doubt that in this regard he stands out favorably from the two veterans who are next to him on the podium in the photo.

      In any case, successful performances in the STT surely boost morale and lift spirits, which is also important. On Sunday, Nikita has another qualifying session and another race ahead of him.
