Formula One and racing's governing body, the FIA, have thrown their support by Haas' response to a video of 2021 driver Nikita Mazepin which emerged on Wednesday.
A video uploaded to Mazepin's Instagram account showed the Russian touching a woman's chest in the back seat of a car. The video was deleted but captured and shared widely on social media.
Haas condemned the video, which it labelled "abhorrent", and confirmed it will deal with the matter internally. Mazepin issued an apology, saying he will hold himself "to a higher standard as a Formula One driver".
F1 and the FIA issued a joint statement on Thursday.
