The under-fire F1 driver fighting for his future – Autosport

It’s rather a wild scene on the terrace atop the Williams motorhome. That Nicholas Latifi amiably led GP Racing up here solo, without ‘handlers’, after greeting us in the Silverstone paddock three floors below says much about

state of his Formula 1 career.
Except, of course, it doesn’t – because this is Silverstone and any minute the heavy skies
 will give way to bright sunshine, heat ready to rapidly evaporate any lingering precipitation. And repeat. It is here that Latifi, whose 2022 season so far has been underwhelming – 
to put it generously – will reach Q3 for the 
first time in his career.
