On Saturday, the Haas Formula 1 Team informed about the termination of Nikita Mazepin's contract and their title partnership with Uralkali with immediate effect.
"Haas F1 Team has elected to terminate, with immediate effect, the title partnership of Uralkali, and the driver contract of Nikita Mazepin," said a statement from the team.
It remains unclear who will replace Russian driver Mazepin and race alongside Mick Schumacher this season - though news on who will step in is expected early next week.
"As with the rest of the Formula 1 community, the team is shocked and saddened by the invasion of Ukraine and wishes for a swift and peaceful end to the conflict."
The season's Grand Prix will take place at the same venue on March 18-20. Next Thursday, the Official Pre-Season Test will begin in Bahrain.
On Thursday Formula 1 confirmed it had terminated its contract with the Russian Grand Prix promoter. It means that Russia will no longer have a race in the future.
