The Canadian driver Nicholas Latifi will support Robert Kubica and George Russell next year at Williams. He is familiar with the Formula 1 paddocks as he was a test driver for Renault in 2016 and conducted tests multiple times this year for Force India.<\/p>\n
Latifi’s career is quite irregular in the feeder series with only three victories overall but some standout performances both in races and qualifying.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old driver will help the British team develop the car and collect data but will also participate in six free practice sessions and other tests throughout the entire 2019 season.<\/p>\n
Nicholas Latifi’s dream of reaching the pinnacle of motorsport seems closer than ever: \u00ab I am thrilled to join an iconic team like Williams as a reserve driver for 2019. It’s a fantastic opportunity to continue my development in F1 and to enhance my experience on the track with more FP1 sessions and Pirelli tests. In addition to that, a big part of my role will be driving simulators and contributing to the development of the new car. I look forward to spending time at the Grove factory, immersing myself within the team, and helping as much as I can. It’s an incredible opportunity that’s been given to me, and I can’t wait to get started. \u00bb<\/p>\n
