Latifi remained at DAMS for the fourth consecutive season in [[2019 Formula 2 Championship|2019]], alongside [[Sérgio Sette Câmara]]. A strong start to the season saw Latifi take three victories in the first five races, winning the feature races in Bahrain and Barcelona and the sprint race in Baku. After the first three rounds, Latifi led the championship, 30 points clear of 3rd-placed [[Nyck de Vries]]. However, a poor showing at the fourth round in [[Circuit de Monaco|Monaco]], during which Latifi finished the races in 12th and 10th, saw de Vries close the gap to just one point. Latifi would not finish on the podium again until the seventh round at Silverstone, in which he finished the feature race 2nd. By this point, de Vries had extended his championship lead to 27 points. Latifi scored his final victory of the season at the feature race of the next round in Hungary, before failing to score at Monza, and then taking two 2nd-place finishes at Sochi and Yas Marina. He ended the season as the championship runner-up to de Vries, two places and 10 points ahead of teammate Sette Câmara, achieving four wins, four other podium finishes and four fastest laps.

Latifi was due to make his Formula One debut at the season-opening {{F1 GP|2020|Australian}}. He was entered into the race, however, it was later cancelled in response to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].

At the {{F1 GP|2020|Italian}}, Latifi took advantage of a [[safety car]] period to start in ninth place when the race restarted after a [[Racing flags#Red flag|red flag]]. He finished the race in 11th place, ahead of five other drivers. His first Formula One retirement came at the {{F1 GP|2020|Tuscan}} where he was eliminated in a multi-car accident at the safety car restart. He recorded another 11th-place finish at the {{F1 GP|2020|Emilia Romagna}}, finishing less than a second behind [[Antonio Giovinazzi]]. Two retirements came in the final four races of the season, caused by a collision with [[Romain Grosjean]] at the {{F1 GP|2020|Turkish}} and an oil leak at the {{F1 GP|2020|Sakhir}}. Latifi ended his debut season 21st in the drivers' championship, with both him and the Williams team failing to score points.

Nicholas Daniel Latifi (born 29 June 1995) is a Canadian former racing driver, who competed in Formula One from 2020 to 2022.

Born in Montreal and raised in Toronto, Latifi is the son of Iranian-Canadian billionaire businessman Michael Latifi. Graduating from karting to junior formulae in 2012, Latifi made his racing debut in the Italian Formula Three Championship. He achieved his highest Formula Three finish at the 2013 British Formula 3 International Series, finishing fifth with Carlin. Making his GP2 Series debut in 2014, Latifi achieved a full-time drive for DAMS in 2016. After four full seasons in GP2—now known as the FIA Formula 2 Championship—Latifi finished runner-up to Nyck de Vries in 2019.

Latifi served as a test driver for Renault from 2016 to 2017, and as a reserve driver for Force India—later known as Racing Point—in 2018. A member of the Williams Driver Academy since 2019, Latifi signed for Williams in 2020 to partner George Russell, making his Formula One debut at the Austrian Grand Prix, where he finished 11th. After a non-scoring season with the FW43, Latifi scored his maiden points finish at the Hungarian Grand Prix in 2021, repeating this feat in Belgium. Retaining his seat for 2022, Latifi finished ninth at the rain-affected Japanese Grand Prix. Latifi was replaced by Logan Sargeant at the conclusion of the season, marking the end of his Formula One career.

Early and personal life

[edit]

Nicholas Daniel Latifi was born on 29 June 1995 in Montreal, Quebec,[1][2] and grew up in North York, Toronto.[3] He is the son of Michael Latifi, an Iranian-Canadian billionaire businessman who is the CEO of Sofina Foods, Inc. and also owns the British Virgin Islands company Nidala.[4][5] His mother, Marilena Latifi (née Russo), an Italian-Canadian with Sicilian parents, was born into the Saputo family, which founded the dairy company Saputo Inc.[6] Latifi has three siblings: Sophia, Michael Alexander (a voice actor), and Matthew.[7]

Latifi attended Crescent School, an independent boys' school, graduating in 2013. He was named to the school's Alumni Wall of Honour in 2021. Because of his heavy racing schedule, he spent most of his high school years attending school remotely.[8]

In 2023, Latifi announced that he was putting his racing career on hold while he studied for an MBA at the London Business School.[9] He said that he did not expect to race in F1 again, but was willing to consider other categories of motorsport down the road.[10]

Latifi's car number, 6, references a nickname of his home city, Toronto.[11]

Junior racing career

[edit]

Latifi was a relative latecomer to motorsport and had a long junior career. He began karting at age 13. He then spent four years karting and eight years in junior formulae. As a result, he joined Formula One at the age of 24, which he said was "definitely on the older side."[12]

Karting

[edit]

Latifi began his karting career in 2009.[1] In 2010, he finished as the runner-up in the Rotax Junior class of the Canadian National Karting Championship. Latifi continued competing in Canadian and American karting series until 2012, when he won the Florida Winter Tour championship in the Rotax DD2 class.[13] He later made an appearance in the Shifter ROK class of the Florida Winter Tour in 2015, competing against former Formula One drivers Rubens Barrichello and Nelson Piquet Jr.[14]

Formula Three and Renault 3.5

[edit]
Latifi racing in the 2013 European Formula 3 Championship

Latifi spent four years in various European Formula Three competitions. He made his single-seater debut in the 2012 Italian Formula Three Championship with BVM,[15] placing seventh with one win and four podiums.[16]

In 2013, Latifi started the year in the Toyota Racing Series (Giles Motorsport), an early-season warm-up competition. He finished ninth.[17] He then concurrently competed in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship and the British Formula 3 International Series, both with Carlin.[18][19] He placed 15th in European Formula Three and 5th in British Formula Three, and took a podium in the latter competition at Brands Hatch.[20] He also placed 7th at the 2013 Masters of Formula 3 race at Zandvoort.[21]

Latifi racing for Prema Powerteam at Spa in the 2014 European Formula 3 Championship

2014 was a busy year for Latifi, who competed in 53 races across six competitions. In his sophomore European F3 campaign, he switched to Prema Powerteam[22] and finished 10th. Although he competed against future F1 drivers Esteban Ocon and Max Verstappen, he scored a second-place finish at Silverstone and six top-five finishes.[23][24] He skipped the final round of the season to compete in Formula Renault 3.5 with Tech 1 Racing, scoring a second-place finish at Jerez in the final race of the season.[24][25] In November he competed in the Macau Grand Prix, finishing fifth in the feature race.[26][27][28]

In 2015, Latifi joined Formula Renault 3.5 full-time, spending the 2015 season with Arden Motorsport.[29] He finished 11th, with his best finishes being two fourth-place results at Spa and at Spielberg.[30]

Sportscar racing

[edit]

Latifi competed in the 2012 Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge for Rehagen Racing, driving a Ford Mustang GT.[31] In 2014, he made an appearance in the Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain driving for Redline Racing at Rockingham. He retired from the first round but scored a fourth-place finish in the second round.[32][33] He had a longer campaign in 2015, competing in four of the eight rounds and taking second place in the first race at Oulton Park. He finished 11th in the standings.

GP2 / FIA Formula 2

[edit]
Latifi in the 2016 GP2 Series

From 2016 to 2020, Latifi spent four full seasons in the GP2 Series and its successor, FIA Formula 2,[34] all with the DAMS team. He also participated in cameos in 2014 and 2015.

2014–2016: Early campaigns in GP2

[edit]

Latifi joined GP2 for two races in 2014, replacing Hilmer Motorsport's Daniel Abt, who dropped out due to Formula E commitments.[28] He placed 22nd and 17th. In 2015, he competed in eight races with MP Motorsport,[35] with a best finish of 11th at Sakhir. In 2016, Latifi joined GP2 full-time with DAMS,[36] but had a difficult season and finished 16th, 101 points behind teammate Alex Lynn. He scored three points finishes, including a podium at the season opener in Barcelona.[37] However, he set the fastest time in post-season testing.[38]

2017–2018: Maiden victories

[edit]

Latifi remained in the category as it rebranded to the FIA Formula 2 Championship in 2017. He led most of the Barcelona sprint race, but lost the lead after running wide through the gravel, and settled for third.[39] He picked up his maiden F2 race win at the Silverstone sprint race, when he started third, grabbed the lead at the start, and dominated the rest of the race.[40] At Monza, he fought his way back from 14th to third during the rain-affected feature race.[41] He placed fifth in the championship with 178 points, 13 points behind teammate Oliver Rowland. For the year, he collected one win and nine podiums in 22 races. Motorsport.com ranked him the No. 14 junior single-seater driver of 2017, predicting that he could be "a genuine threat for the title" in 2018.[42]

Latifi racing in Austria in the 2018 Formula 2 Championship.

Latifi took a step back in 2018, when a new F2 car was introduced. He opined that the new car was poorly suited to his driving style and that he was forced to "change pretty much everything I know about driving, all my natural instincts."[43] He was hampered by qualifying issues and occasionally chaotic race starts, but mounted notable recovery drives at Bahrain (pit lane to tenth),[44] Baku (last to fifth),[45] Monaco (18th to ninth),[46] Paul Ricard (17th to seventh),[47] and Spielberg (19th to 11th).[48] All together, he scored three podiums and one win at Spa-Francorchamps,[49] and finished the season in ninth place with 91 points, 121 points behind third-placed teammate (and future F1 teammate) Alex Albon. At the end of the season, PaddockScout opined that "once Latifi got up to speed with the new car, he wasn’t far off [Albon's pace], outqualifying him in two of the last three rounds," and predicted a bounce-back season in 2019.[50] Latifi joined the Williams Driver Academy at the end of the season.[51]

2019: Runner-up in final season

[edit]
Latifi at the 2019 Spielberg Formula 2 round in Austria

In 2019, Latifi got off to an excellent start and challenged for the F2 title for much of the year. He won the first feature race at Sakhir,[52] led the championship after the second round in Baku after winning the sprint race,[53] and won the feature race at Barcelona.[54] However, he lost the title lead to Nyck de Vries after a difficult showing at Monaco[55] (during which Latifi was erroneously placed one lap down during a re-start[56]) and a de Vries win at Paul Ricard.[57] He did not score a podium finish until the feature race at Silverstone, where he finished second.[58] He dominated the feature race win at Hungary, but de Vries finished second to keep him at arm's-length in the title race.[59]

A cancelled weekend at Spa-Francorchamps (due to the death of Anthoine Hubert) and a point-less weekend at Monza[60] effectively ended Latifi's title fight, with the Canadian admitting that he would "focus on consolidating second in the championship".[61] He held on to second place with two second-place finishes in the final four races.[62][63] Before the season finale at Yas Marina, Williams promoted him to Formula One for the 2020 season.[64] Latifi scored four wins, eight podiums, and four fastest laps to end the season in second place with 214 points, 10 points ahead of teammate Sérgio Sette Câmara. In addition, DAMS won its first GP2/F2 title since 2014. Formula Scout ranked Latifi as the No. 10 junior single-seater driver of 2019, and the No. 5 racer in F2.[65]

Formula One career

[edit]

Latifi tested for Renault in 2016 and 2017.[66] In May 2016, he drove a F1 car for the first time when he tested the Renault-powered Lotus E20 (Renault had recently repurchased the Lotus F1 Team) at Silverstone.[67] In 2017, he drove the Renault R.S.17 at Barcelona and the Hungaroring.[68]

In 2018, Latifi became Force India's reserve and test driver.[69] In this capacity, he participated in his first F1 race weekend, driving in a practice session in Montreal.[70][71] He also joined several other F1 practice sessions during the season,[72] and tested the Force India VJM11 twice.[73][74]

After signing for the Williams Driver Academy, Latifi became Williams' test and reserve driver for 2019.[75] He made his testing debut with Williams at Sakhir,[76] and continued testing during and after the season.[77][78][79] He also participated in six FP1 sessions.

Williams (2020–2022)

[edit]

Bankruptcy scare

[edit]
Williams terminated its title sponsorship deal with ROKiT before the start of the 2020 season.[80] The Williams FW43's livery (original at left, driven by Latifi during pre-season testing) was redesigned to more prominently feature Latifi's sponsor Sofina Foods while the team searched for a new title sponsor.[81]

When Latifi joined the Williams senior team in 2020, the team was facing bankruptcy.[82] The racing press reported that Latifi's signature brought Williams €30 million[83] or $40 million[84] in sponsorship money from his family's enterprises, including Sofina Foods (his father's company) and Lavazza (one of Sofina's business partners).[84] Latifi also brought in sponsorship money from the Royal Bank of Canada.[85] However, Latifi pushed back against the "pay driver" label, noting that while "the reality of motorsport is that it is an expensive sport", his F2 performances had more than met the FIA Super License benchmarks to compete in Formula One.[86]

After Latifi signed with Williams, the COVID-19 pandemic further exacerbated the team's financial issues. The team parted ways with title sponsor ROKiT, claiming that the latter had failed to timely pay its sponsorship dues.[80][81] Michael Latifi provided further support to the team by working with HSBC to refinance Williams' debts, which provided the team with an immediate £28m cash injection.[87]

2020

[edit]

Williams promoted Latifi to the senior team for 2020, replacing Robert Kubica and partnering former Formula 2 competitor George Russell.[88] Due to a Canadian dispute with the FIA, he spent the year racing under an American license, but F1 officially treated him as a Canadian.[89]

Latifi endured a rocky rookie season. His problems were compounded by the woeful Williams car, which failed to score a single point all year.[90] He made his race debut at the Austrian Grand Prix (that year's Australian Grand Prix having been cancelled).[91] Despite a crash in the final practice session,[92] which contributed to a last-placed qualifying,[93] he finished in 11th, taking advantage of nine retirements.[94] Overall, he struggled in qualifying and was knocked out in the first qualifying session in all but one race that year (the Hungarian Grand Prix),[95] where he challenged for points but suffered a puncture and spun on lap 43.[96] After a 15th-place finish at Silverstone, he commented that he made his "first legit overtake in Formula 1" when he passed Kimi Räikkönen.[97]

Despite Williams' point-less season, Latifi came close to scoring points on several occasions. At the Italian Grand Prix, Latifi recovered from last[98] to 11th, after a well-timed pit stop immediately before a safety car and red flag vaulted him into ninth place at the re-start. Although he later fell back to 12th, he overtook Räikkönen to finish 11th and beat his teammate Russell.[99] He picked up his first F1 retirement at the Tuscan Grand Prix, following a multi-car accident at a restart.[100][101] He finished 11th once again at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, aided by a late safety car.[102] Latifi received an opportunity to compete with a new teammate when Russell was temporarily promoted to Mercedes for the Sakhir Grand Prix, and duly outqualified substitute Jack Aitken;[103] however, he was forced to retire in 13th place due to an oil leak.[104] Latifi ended his debut season 21st in the Drivers' Championship, the lowest of all full-time drivers. Russell beat him 15-0 in qualifying, although Latifi beat him on track in two races and finished another race where Russell took himself out with a driver error.[105]

2021

[edit]
Latifi at the 2021 Austrian Grand Prix

Williams retained Latifi and Russell for the 2021 season.[106] At round two, the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, Latifi advanced to Q2 and achieved his career-best qualifying position with 14th place;[107] however, he retired after colliding with Nikita Mazepin, who was in his blind spot.[108] At the Spanish Grand Prix, Latifi finished 16th after nearly crashing on the final lap.[109] For his first-ever Monaco Grand Prix, Latifi sported a one-off helmet to celebrate Williams' 750th race.[110] He finished the race in 15th place without water, having failed to connect his drinks tube before the race.[111]

Williams steadily improved during the season. Latifi narrowly missed out on Q2 for three races in a row, qualifying 16th at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, French Grand Prix, and Styrian Grand Prix. In France, he was just two thousandths of a second away from Q2.[112][113][114] He scored his first F1 points at the Hungarian Grand Prix, where he put on a career-best performance. He qualified in 18th,[115] but received a golden opportunity when Valtteri Bottas set off a chain reaction of crashes at Turn 1. He carefully avoided the carnage, allowing him to enter Turn 2 in sixth position.[116] At the restart, most drivers pitted for slicks,[117] and Latifi overtook another two drivers due to good execution from Williams' pit crew.[116] He rose to third after a Mercedes strategy miscue forced Lewis Hamilton to pit. He hung on to third place for 18 laps and eventually finished eighth, just ahead of Russell. He was subsequently promoted to seventh after Sebastian Vettel's disqualification.[116] It was Williams' first double-points finish since the 2018 Italian Grand Prix,[118] and Latifi's seventh-place finish was the team's best single finish since the 2017 Brazilian Grand Prix.[116] Latifi said that he was "super happy" with the result.[119]

Latifi continued to benefit from Williams' improved form, primarily in qualifying. A 12th-place qualifying finish,[120] two penalties, and a Sergio Pérez crash allowed him to start the rain-affected Belgian Grand Prix in ninth place. Since the race took place in a downpour and was run entirely under safety car conditions, Latifi scored points for the second consecutive race.[121] He made Q2 again at the following race, the Dutch Grand Prix, but a shunt during his flying lap doomed him to a pit lane start so that Williams could fix his car.[122] At the Italian Grand Prix, Latifi finished 14th in the sprint race[123] and nearly scored points for a third time before losing tenth place to Esteban Ocon at the safety car restart.[124] He also qualified 14th at the Russian Grand Prix,[125] but retired after colliding with the wall.[126] Williams' form dropped off in the final third of the season,[127] but Latifi outqualified Russell for the first time with a 16th-place grid placement at the São Paulo Grand Prix.[128] He also finished 12th in a crash-filled Saudi Arabian Grand Prix,[129] and outqualified Russell for a second time at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.[130]

Latifi played an unexpectedly significant role in the Abu Dhabi GP, which had one of the most controversial endings to a race in Formula One history.[131][132][133] Entering the race, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen were tied for the championship lead. Hamilton led most of the race, but Latifi crashed on lap 53 of 58 while battling Mick Schumacher, triggering a safety car. Unwilling to end the race under safety car conditions, race director Michael Masi controversially ordered the five lapped drivers between Hamilton and Verstappen to unlap themselves, allowing Verstappen to close the gap to Hamilton and race for one final lap. Aided by brand-new tyres, Verstappen overtook Hamilton to win his first World Drivers' Championship.[134] Following the race, Latifi apologized for the crash[134] but nonetheless received threats and hate messages from fans on social media.[135] Following the race, he explained on his website that while most of the messages he had received had been supportive, he had received "shocking" online abuse, including death threats. He added that online accounts had also harassed his family and that "it's right to call out this kind of behavior".[136][137] Hamilton and other Mercedes employees sent him private messages of support after the incident.[138]

Latifi finished in 17th place in the Drivers' Championship with seven points, nine points behind Russell.[139]

2022

[edit]
Latifi at the 2022 British Grand Prix

Latifi stayed with Williams for the 2022 season and was paired with his former DAMS teammate Alex Albon following Russell's promotion to Mercedes.[140] Formula One debuted new regulations for the 2022 season, and Latifi admitted that he was having difficulty adjusting to the new ground effect cars.[141] In addition, Williams team principal Jost Capito believed that the online abuse Latifi endured after the prior year's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix affected his performances during the season,[142] and offered the team's "full support" to Latifi to rebuild his confidence.[143]

In the first race of the year, the Bahrain Grand Prix, Latifi qualified last[144] and finished the race in 16th.[145] A week later at Jeddah, he crashed on his own during both qualifying and the race.[146] He did not finish higher than 16th until round 5, the Miami Grand Prix (14th),[147] and did not beat Albon in a race until round 6, the Spanish Grand Prix.[148] He also crashed on the formation lap of the rain-affected Monaco Grand Prix.[149] He started the race and finished in 15th,[150] but Carlos Sainz accused Latifi of costing him the victory by holding him up under blue flags.[151] The racing press circulated rumours that Latifi would be replaced mid-season by 2021 F2 champion Oscar Piastri following the Canadian Grand Prix, but Capito rejected that rumor,[152] and Latifi finished out the season with Williams.[153]

The British Grand Prix was a bright spot for Latifi, who made Q1 for the first time and qualified tenth.[154][155] He improved to eighth at the start, but finished 12th after suffering floor damage.[156] However, the on-track incidents continued to pile up. At the French Grand Prix, Latifi retired after colliding with Kevin Magnussen on lap 38; neither driver accepted sole responsibility for the incident.[157] At the Belgian Grand Prix, Latifi spun, knocking Valtteri Bottas out of the race.[158] At the Italian Grand Prix, Latifi's old F2 rival Nyck de Vries filled in for Albon, who withdrew due to appendicitis.[159] De Vries outqualified Latifi[160] and finished ninth compared to Latifi's 15th, which Autosport characterised as "the final nail in the coffin" for Latifi's tenure at Williams.[161] Latifi went on to receive a five-place grid penalty after crashing Zhou Guanyu out of the Singapore Grand Prix.[162]

Despite the grid penalty, the Japanese Grand Prix provided one last hurrah for Latifi, who qualified last but scored his first points of the season with a ninth-place finish after fortituously gambling by pitting for intermediate tyres at the end of a safety car restart.[163] In his final race with Williams, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Latifi's race was compromised when Mick Schumacher sent him into the barriers. He got back on track and nearly finished the race, but retired with an electrical issue and was classified as the 19th-place finisher.[164]

Latifi finished 20th in the Drivers' Championship with two points. Although the Williams car took a step back in 2023, and Latifi finished only two points behind teammate Albon,[165] his qualifying deficit to Albon was significantly worse than his deficit to Russell the year prior.[166] Williams replaced him with academy driver Logan Sargeant for 2023.[167] Latifi admitted that "it's a results-based industry [and] obviously the performance hasn’t been there this year for many different reasons. ... I have accepted it and just have to move on".[166] He wrote that "many young people around the world would love to be able" to race in Formula One and that he was "very grateful" for the experience.[153]
