Following a dark national doping case from 2014, the Russian Federation has been ordered by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (part of the IOC) to prevent its athletes from flying the Russian flag or mentioning Russian nationality at Olympic and world competitions in 2021 and 2022. No national anthem either. Since the flag and nationality had to be replaced by something else, the acronym of the Russian Automobile Federation, RAF, appears on the karts and on the lists next to the names of the Russian drivers, just as it does on Nikita Mazepin’s Haas F1 car.
