Nicholas Latifi is a Canadian established professional driver and a Platinum-graded endurance competitor. His indexed racing spans ten seasons from 2013 to 2022 and comprises 217 starts across five series. He raced for DAMS in Formula 2 and GP2 Series, and drove for Williams in Formula 1.[1]
Latifi's most substantial campaign came in Formula 2 with DAMS, where he took six wins and twenty podiums across 67 starts between 2017 and 2019. His Formula 1 tenure with Williams ran from 2020 to 2022, spanning 61 starts without a podium finish. Earlier in his career he raced Formula 3 machinery in the FIA Formula 3 European and Formula 3 Macau championships, then competed in GP2 Series and Formula V8 3.5; he finished 16th in the GP2 championship standings in 2016 in his final indexed season.[2]
In the single-seater fields he inhabited, Latifi regularly finished ahead of Sean Gelael, a professional Silver-graded driver with substantial Formula 2 and Formula 3 European experience. He ran closely with Jordan King, an established professional and Gold-graded driver who raced the same categories at similar career stages. Against the strongest opposition on record, Latifi finished ahead of Max Verstappen six times and George Russell nine times during their overlapping years in Formula 1, though neither were moments of broader competitiveness in that championship.
