Nicholas Latifi is a retired professional racing driver from Canada. Platinum-graded in international single-seater and endurance racing, he spent three seasons in Formula 1 with Williams, from 2020 to 2022. His primary career path ran through open-wheel junior formula, where he raced for DAMS across multiple categories; Formula 2 was his main focus, with 67 starts across three seasons.[1]

Latifi's record across a ten-season career from 2013 to 2022 comprised 217 starts in single-driver formula racing. He took six wins and 23 podiums overall, the bulk of this success coming in Formula 2, where he scored six wins and 20 podiums. His Formula 1 career yielded no podiums across 61 starts. In Formula 3 European and GP2 Series he recorded one podium in each; his other junior categories produced limited results. His final indexed season came in 2016 in GP2 Series, where he finished 16th in the championship standings.[2]

Latifi raced regularly against established professionals throughout his career. He typically finished ahead of Sean Gelael, a Silver-graded Formula 2 regular, and was closely matched with Jordan King, a Gold-graded driver who raced across similar junior categories. He finished ahead of Lando Norris and George Russell, both generational-level drivers who went on to sustained Formula 1 careers, though these results were isolated rather than habitual; Norris beat him in ten meetings and Russell in nine.
