Nicholas Latifi leaves Williams at end of season

It was confirmed on Friday (23/9/22), Nicholas Latifi will leave Williams at the end of the season.



Latifi joined Williams for 2019 as its test and reserve driver before stepping up to a race seat the following season.

Latifi scored a best result of seventh at 2021’s Hungarian Grand Prix.

However, Latifi has struggled through the 2022 season and is the only full-time driver without a point, best finish of twelfth place at Silverstone back in July.

Williams has already retained Alexander Albon for 2023 and outlined that it will announce its second seat in due course. With either Nyck de Vries or Logan Sargeant set to replace Latifi for 2023.

Despite bringing in sponsorship from Canada, at the end of the day if the results are not there and being outperform by Albon all season. Its the right decision from Williams not to renew Latifi for another season.
