Formula 1 Analysis

The difficulty that helped define F1's newest addition

By:

Williams has announced Nicholas Latifi will take its final seat for 2020, and in the process completed the grid for next year. But while he doesn't have a mindblowing junior record, there is more to Latifi than some observers may think

As Nicholas Latifi lay in a hospital bed in January 2018, he had no idea how much the situation was going to impact his season.

In terms of results, it led to a nightmare Formula 2 campaign - motorsport is a results-driven industry. But, ultimately, it helped shape him into a driver who won't do a bad job in Formula 1, and could even prove to do better than that.
