@@NexuJin "hype max" and now it's only his car I bet right? When it was lulu turn he was the goat, midfield car winning 7 times the world champion masterpiece. Grow up with your thoughts
To be fair, Latifi did help William financially until the change of direction, and that’s by itself an accomplishment. He was not crashing at every race, kept his car (mostly) clear, and allowed Williams to stay in F1. I think this is worthy of praises. His race skill are decent, but nowhere near enough for an F1 pilot. I don’t think he’s deserving of a place; especially since Nick has shown how good he is (A trend with dutch people, go figure lol). I still wish him the best of luck. He seems like a kind person.
Facts. Nobody expects from Latifi to be "Albon/Nyck/George level driver". It wasn't purpose of major deal Williams signed. As harsh it was, it was neccesary for team to survive though years (similar story to now Aston - it wouldn't be in F1 at all without Stroll senior help and junior as driver). Even best drivers on grid couldn't fill 40million per year difference with performance alone. (doubt that even Max+Lewis or whatever combo could pull Williams 2 places higher - maybe, juuuust maybe figth AM for 9th) From person who actually likes Latifi (mostly because of all hate - more people hate, more I like him. All that wasted hate energy (they could easily turn it into crowdfunded seat for favorite driver, hehehe) is so tasty!), 2022 regs hit him hard (not as much as Ric but near enough). If people would have a tiny bit of brain (no offense - I wish I would have less =)) ), they would know that in last and pre-last year's Williams Latifi was actually decently fast and could easily match Russell on many weekends (his Saturday shape was meh but on Sunday Russell was often struggling more). Aaand he loves Hungaroring! Would love to see him race there once again in top-level car (just one time event of season) If Williams are fine with budget, it is time to move for 2 talants in team, no doubt. But "Blame the game not players", (going to enjoy final races of Goatifi era in F1 if that is the case!)
@@Nicodc21 F1 is all about circumstances. Latifi happened to be there at the right time. And yes, she bankrupt the team, but her idea was quite good spirited: producing most of the part themselves was a way to have more control over the car itself, and allowed them to be more flexible with performances. Especially with that 2020 car. Great car all around with no issue, could easily have won the constructor championship. Yup.
@@anonymoususer1824 … Fair point. But still. If they didn’t bargain to have him sitting behind the wheel, they wouldn’t have had their money. I therefore standby what I said.
From what I have seen Latifi seems to be a very kind guy and a pleasant person. I really feel bad for the man's F1 career not working out. It is unfair though, when there are really talented drivers that don't get a chance, and I think the sport needs actual talent instead of pay drivers.
the thing is, latifi had a not-that-much-of-a-mediocre f2 experience, probably he can do better outside F1, but yeah, hes just not enough for Formula One.
Look at it the other way: The pay drivers help to keep the team afloat and this enables other talented drivers to get a seat. Its not perfect but its still a win-win situation. Some of the obscure pay drivers from the past : Lauda , Schumacher........
@@saippuakivikuappias not basically. He is! ^^ But yeah, like you guys said. I was shocked about that statement. But we kinda knew it also. It's like you know the universe is vast, but when you see numbers and after some thought, you realize how just crazy it is.
Maybe not a stellar driver... but definitely not as bad as people make him seem if you consider that he is 10kg heavier than De Vries. That is not trivial and when you add that, makes his car a lot slower
@@AeroKittens it definitely is trivial though. FIA rules state a minimum weight for an Formula 1 driver of 80kg. If the driver weighs less than 80kg (which is the vast majority of drivers) then this difference is corrected with ballast. This ballast is added to the cockpit so it cannot be placed anywhere on the car to improve balance. This figure also includes the driver’s helmet, race suit and shoes so drivers do not aim to weigh exactly 80kg. Latifi weighs 73kg, so even with helmet and suit he is still well below the 80kg.
I think this is a good eye opener on how difficult it is to be an F1 driver. Imagine being mocked for only being able to drive a F1 car to 99% of its potential. To put that into perspective most people can't drive an F1 car in video games to 99%, let alone do it without crashing once per lap and Latifi is able to do that in real life. Then consider he is doing that whilst contending with g forces up to 5 or 6 and doing it for 60 laps straight. Yeah F1 is not easy
He’s not driving that car to 99% potential. Maybe in terms of literally lap time but, he’s not better than 99% of professional drivers. There are almost certainly dozens of Indycar, prototype and GTE drivers that would be better than Latifi and Mazepin. He’s more than one notch below what he should be.
If people like Yuji Ade could make it to F1 and start a race then solely racing in F1 and dead last is not an achievement. There are better talents out there but they don’t get a chance due to lack of fundings. Motogp champion, Valentino Rossi, was such. I bet he would been a better racer than Mazepin or Latifi
@@troyr3478 i don't even get how you could even think that "censoring" a word is childish. Particularly in this case here. And commenting on it, like this, what 's it called? Useless? :p
Let us not forget that he's a great and cheerful personality. I will never forget his legendary onboard speech to thank Claire & Frank Williams after the team got taken over. And thanks to him, the legendary Williams team financially survived in extremely tough times. For that reason alone, he deserves a respectful ending to his F1 career. Just let the man finish his season and hopefully, he will find a seat somewhere else. And who knows, he might actually end up very successful in a different class. It certainly wouldn't be the first time. I truly wish all the best for him.
the only reason he's made it this long in F1 is because he is a pay driver. Nyck De Vries deserves that seat so much more and I'm glad he got the chance to show it
@@rnichol22 exactly there are less than 1000 billionaires and in the case of Mazepin and Latifi, they were paid by billionaires who happened to be their parents willing are to sponsor them to suck at the sport.
@@rnichol22 Actually that is not true. Latifi is unlike Albon not paid by Williams. Because Williams doesn't have to pay Latifi a salary, they can use that money for R&D. That is why most pay drivers are found on backmarker teams. Getting into F1 as a pay driver isn't bad on it's merrit because Michael Schumacher got into F1 as a paydriver...
I feel for him really. He’s no doubt a fantastic driver, and even getting to Formula One is a massive achievement. But it’s clear he’s not up to the standard of these cars. It’ll be much better for him to make a move to Formula E or endurance championship or something.
Yeah getting the formula ones a massive achievement but it’s not that great of achievement when your dad just pays for you it’s not like a fucking earned it cause he’s a good driver know his dad owns a fucking Sofina food company and he’s also in deep with the Canadian bank of course everyone’s gonna have him he has the Canadian bank as a sponsor they have a lot of money if you don’t know

Unfair, I know, but this is life :(
@@tototem1331 yeap my point is that if you are rich enough and at the current rate; any physically fit mega rich kid who started early could have gotten into F1 if their parents are willing to fund them
After the Italian GP I'm pretty sure Latifi's career is over. But remember that after 3 years of constant denigration, after all the hate he received after the Abu Dhabi GP, life is pretty harsh. I can't imagine what's going in the mind of a driver that every time he opens a social media or an article everyone describes how bad he is. He's surely not the best of the drivers out there but he doesn't deserve such hate.
@zak I get your point, but just because you get good results in junior series doesn't necessarily mean you are a promising driver. For example, Drugovich won this year but drivers like Sargeant, Doohan, Lawson are more likely to get a seat. It's more about how much progress you have made, rather than the points you've collected.
@zak I agree about pay drivers. If a driver can't make it to F1 on merit alone and has to buy their way into a seat, then they are screwing a deserving driver out of career length, and as I said in another comment, screwing the fans out of seeing a skill set and excitement that only the best of the best can deliver.
@@MitchellfcNa32 It's not a consistently competitive car yet. But they sure made progress this year. They made strides with quali performances, reaching Q2 and Q1. If they get the race pace performance there. They can score more often points. The tire deg doesn't look too bad on the Williams as Albon and de Vries has shown.
George is a really good driver, He is in front of Sainz. So, regardless Mercedes made the right call. George can't win in that car but if he does, he's a keeper.
It's like that famous quote "your only as good as your worst player" - Latifi is holding that team back. Just imagine how many points have been left on the table since last year because of him
Exactly, he's not helping Williams or himself in the slightest, he needs to realize that is his performance that sucks and not just the car, his two teammates have demonstrated that the car is capable of more.
Not much points at all really, at best they would keep finishing P12-14 (= out of the points) or something like that. Together with HAAS they're the worst of the bunch still and on own merit alone wouldn't really be finishing races in the Top 10. RedBull and Ferrari have by far the best pace, Mercedes has made a good comback and seem steady. Alpine seems solid. McLaren's lacking a little compared to the expectation this season, but still solid enough. That's your 5 teams for the Top 10. Alfa Romeo looks quite good, but has had pretty terrible reliability. Alpha Tauri seems underwhelming. The Aston Martin is very hit and miss. HAAS looked not to bad at the start of the season, now seems like a bit of a joke and well Williams... they're just holding ground. Not quite what Russell was capable extracting out of a Williams, but overall still decent compared to the last couple of years in hands of the family. But it needs weekends like the last, where there's tons of grid penalties and unfortunities of others to really capitalize on their opperunities to score points.
Maybe williams shouldnt have been fucking money grubbers and got a decent driver in the first place instead of just using him for his money and focus on any driver other than him.
@@dgsdhsdeuye57 me too, but it seems the "poorer" teams, do things like this to keep up. Its kinda sad, cos he kinda didn't deserve to be in f1 from what everyone says
@Julius Kossmann Maldonado was fast indeed, but he was error-prone and not very consistent. His duels against Alonso in Australia 2012 and Hamilton in Valencia were pretty good, up until he crashed out of both. Not to mention that he's still the last driver to win a GP for Williams.
I really do hope if he does leave that he finds a decent seat in whatever series he goes to next. He’s a genuinely great person, just not a great enough driver to stay this long in f1
@@OmahaRiverDonkey Good for him. Now just get him the f out of an f1 car. He will be remembered as probably the worst f1 driver ever and money won't fix that.
people need to remember that being a bad f1 driver doesnt mean you're a bad racing driver latifi is up there with the best racing drivers, but f1 is such a high tier of motorsport where legends are made that his skill feels bad comparitively
Latifi would probably do well in stuff like touring cars, DTM, Nascar. He never showed the hunger and confidence to win a GP. Like you see with any of the young top drivers. He's more the guy that is happy he brought the car back in one piece.
Its crazy that we are calling someone a bad driver for not being able to extract 0.8% compared to his team mate. I mean I know he's bad. It's just crazy that we're talking in those minuscule percentages.

Then he should leave and give the seat to others deserving to be in F1 now that someone has proved his capability, why not race in other series and be the GOAT rather then staying in F1 and get humiliated by millions of awful fans
Funny thing is, even though he isn't fast enough for staying in F1. He still will drive rings around the vast majority of the people bashing him from the comfort of their homes. that's how being well known is unfortunately, people always will know better then the ones actually in the situation. I feel sorry for the guy.
I'm really hoping Nyck De Vries joins F1 next year. Now that Seb is leaving, I don't know who I'll support if Mick doesn't get a contract extension. Nyck is a Formula E world champion, which is fantastic simply because, unlike in F1, he had to beat everyone else in equal machinery. He deserve a seat
Have a look at the “Florida Winter Series” that Stroll, Verstappen and Latifi were in before they got to F1. Equal cars, and Latifi absolutely dominated Max, so he has shown genuine pace on his way into F1 - it’s just whether he’s got enough pace now. Potentially he would be doing the same as Ricciardo in the McLaren, and lots of people are calling for Daniel to stay in F1.
He really didn't. Latifi had seven podiums to Verstappen's five. Verstappen had three pole positions, Latifi had none. Verstappen had three fastest laps, Latifi had two. Verstappen had two DNF's, Latifi had one. Also the fact Latifi had experience in Formula 3 gave him and advantage, Verstappen didn't as he'd just come from Kz1 Karting. Overall, Verstappen was the better driver in that championship. Even with Latifi's experience he only just edged out a kid fresh from Karting. He came second while Verstappen came third in the standings. Latifi is mediocre at best, definately doesn't deserve a seat in Formula 1.
@@themarauder6108 You seem to have intentionally not mentioned that Latifi had 4 wins, to Max’s 2, which is more impressive when you consider Max had more pole positions. There were only 5 occasions that Latifi wasn’t on the podium. Latifi: 1st - 4 2nd - 2 3rd - 1 Max: 1st - 2 2nd - 1 3rd - 2

That speaks volumes on Latifi not being an F1-level talent.
Hate to be pedantic, but Latifi was NOT sponsored by the Bank of Canada, that's a federal agency. he was sponsored by the Royal Bank of Canada, which is a major banking corp.
I'm very curious now, after hearing what the perfect lap times and deviations thereof are for latifi and his teammates what they will be for Verstappen and Perez. Verstappen seems so incredibly much faster than perez, so i'm curious how much the difference would be percentagewise
At the Italian GP, what people forget is that Nicholas started in P9, with De Vries in P8 (due to multiple engine penalties that day). He says that he wasn't surprised that De Vries finished where he did and then claimed "if we were at the front..." He started one position less...lucky nobody calls him out on this
Didn't know that being nice somehow slows you down in a F1 car. Great logic. Mate it's got nothing to do with nice. He's just an average driver who got into F1 without showing any results and guess what happened? He failed
Here again you along with others are not considering that he is 10kg heavier than De Vries. That is not trivial and when you add that, makes his car a lot slower
@@lonekyoko I would agree that he's not the most aggressive but he will push the car to the limits, whereas Latifi isn't able to do that. I guess he's just not quite as skilled as the other drivers
So what, he will be able to look back at his life and say he was a part of F1. With better equipment, who knows? I will say thank you NL for partly funding team Williams and allowing your teammates a chance to race in F1.
Latfi wasn't as bad as people think.. he stood up well points wise against two very highly rated young guns.. apart from George's freak second in the Belgium rain they would have been very little between them and only two points seperated him and albon this year.. not to mention there was nothing between him and Albon the last qualifying..
I defend Latifi... he is not the worst. At least he is the lest best. (Sorry my grammar) It's not easy to drive a F1. Perhaps he should not stay... but he is not a bad driver. In F1, someone will always be last. F1 drivers is quite close to be the best of the best. So... Respect. PD:. Some other drivers do not match him in integrity nor perseverance.
He is not one of the best drivers. So he shouldn't be in F1. He only made it in F1 because of the money his Dad brought in. That left De Vries out of F1. Latifi has no titles, De Vries has 2, F2 and FE. And this last race clearly proofed who has more talent.
@@Wolfe1966 Exactly... We can all agree that in F1 the top 20 are actually not the real best 20 drivers of the world. We are realizing that they consider more than de driving skill. For that give them all (and not only F1 drivers but drivers from all nations and categories) the same car and we will see who is who... They are just very good drivers that make a show.
Anyone who can make it to atleast f2 is usually a fantastic driver but those with that God given talent deserves to be in F1. Latifi could still see success in other series
Albon's anesthesia issues are something of a nightmare and occur quite often. I wish for the best for his recovery. My mother has a very hard time coming off anesthesia and this is always a scare. Anesthesia needs to have a major focus on the neurological effects moving forward in the future for it to improve and become safer per individual.
No respiratory failure after anaesthesia is not “quite” common. What data are you quoting. All surgeries have risks, but anaesthetists should be well seasoned to deal with all potential anaesthetic complications
For the record Latifi is a good driver just not F1 worthy when there are so few seats. He has had his chance. Williams if moving forward as a team need 2 drivers maximising the car. Albon in seat 1 and either De Vries or Schumacher with a little sponsorship.
I don't get the sympathy because he's a good guy, it's sport. If you aren't at the top of your game you're replaced. Maybe bad of me but I think he needs replacing. It's an achievement when he's not the slowest driver on the grid.
I been watching F1 for years and Latifi has performed horribly. You could put him in the top car today Red Bull and he still wouldn’t finish in the points. Williams needed him at a time when Williams was desperate for cash. For that we are grateful otherwise Williams could have been out of F1. I agree it’s time to cut Latifi it’s the right call at the right time.
I mean I rate him close to the lowest I've ever seen in F1, but to say in a Red Bull he wouldn't finish in the top 10 is a stretch lol. Would probably be P8 ish, but outside top 10? He isn't thhhaatttt bad 😂
I wonder if people ever think about Latifi actually being a human with real feelings before posting videos all over TH-cam, that would others lead to possibly suicide.
I think Latifi should be a test drive NOT a full dancing driver, Williams have a good car but not the best. ( look at Alborn just outside the points nearly every race )
I think Latifi is really grappling with the new car regulated designs, he was doing very well last year. It just didnt gel well with him this season. You see the same thing happening to Ricciardo, who seems to really adapt poorly to the new cars.
The biggest achievement of Latifi is being solely responsible for giving Max Verstappen his first world drivers championship. His drive at the final race of 2021 in Abu Dhabi was masterful. For that I am eternally grateful.
He may not be up to par in F 1 but who's to say he might prove O.k. in sports cars or some other form of racing. There has been a number of drivers who couldn't make F 1 who proved themselves capable drivers in other racing series. It'll be interesting to see what his future holds for him. Its too early to count him out.

Even best drivers on grid couldn't fill 40million per year difference with performance alone. (doubt that even Max+Lewis or whatever combo could pull Williams 2 places higher - maybe, juuuust maybe figth AM for 9th)
From person who actually likes Latifi (mostly because of all hate - more people hate, more I like him. All that wasted hate energy (they could easily turn it into crowdfunded seat for favorite driver, hehehe) is so tasty!), 2022 regs hit him hard (not as much as Ric but near enough). If people would have a tiny bit of brain (no offense - I wish I would have less =)) ), they would know that in last and pre-last year's Williams Latifi was actually decently fast and could easily match Russell on many weekends (his Saturday shape was meh but on Sunday Russell was often struggling more). Aaand he loves Hungaroring! Would love to see him race there once again in top-level car (just one time event of season)
If Williams are fine with budget, it is time to move for 2 talants in team, no doubt. But "Blame the game not players",
(going to enjoy final races of Goatifi era in F1 if that is the case!)
It would never have happened if claire had not taken over, that stupid tar has completely destroyed Williams
@@Nicodc21 F1 is all about circumstances. Latifi happened to be there at the right time. And yes, she bankrupt the team, but her idea was quite good spirited: producing most of the part themselves was a way to have more control over the car itself, and allowed them to be more flexible with performances.
Especially with that 2020 car. Great car all around with no issue, could easily have won the constructor championship. Yup.
To be fair, Nicholas didn't do anything to contribute financially, his father did.
@@anonymoususer1824 … Fair point. But still. If they didn’t bargain to have him sitting behind the wheel, they wouldn’t have had their money. I therefore standby what I said.
From what I have seen Latifi seems to be a very kind guy and a pleasant person. I really feel bad for the man's F1 career not working out. It is unfair though, when there are really talented drivers that don't get a chance, and I think the sport needs actual talent instead of pay drivers.
He is 10kg heavier hence slower
the thing is, latifi had a not-that-much-of-a-mediocre f2 experience, probably he can do better outside F1, but yeah, hes just not enough for Formula One.
Look at it the other way: The pay drivers help to keep the team afloat and this enables other talented drivers to get a seat. Its not perfect but its still a win-win situation. Some of the obscure pay drivers from the past : Lauda , Schumacher........
@@dutchsailor6620 i agree, but the times williams needed a pay driver hopefuly ended this year, now they can try to compete again after all that time

It's like you know the universe is vast, but when you see numbers and after some thought, you realize how just crazy it is.
Yuji Ide and Raganathan can do the same, if your father funds you from young and buys you a seat, most people would do the same.
there are f1 drivers that fail the 107% qualify rule. latifi never had that problem. i swear new "fans" have low IQ's
De Vries getting more points in his debut race as Latifi in the entire season shows who deserves a seat.
This season yes. Last season Latifi scored a binch of points remember
Maybe not a stellar driver... but definitely not as bad as people make him seem if you consider that he is 10kg heavier than De Vries. That is not trivial and when you add that, makes his car a lot slower
@@AeroKittens it definitely is trivial though. FIA rules state a minimum weight for an Formula 1 driver of 80kg. If the driver weighs less than 80kg (which is the vast majority of drivers) then this difference is corrected with ballast. This ballast is added to the cockpit so it cannot be placed anywhere on the car to improve balance. This figure also includes the driver’s helmet, race suit and shoes so drivers do not aim to weigh exactly 80kg.
Latifi weighs 73kg, so even with helmet and suit he is still well below the 80kg.
wasn't latifi better in F2 then devries was?
@@elmesmohammed nope, de vries won the championship with latifi in 2nd over 50 points behind.
I think this is a good eye opener on how difficult it is to be an F1 driver. Imagine being mocked for only being able to drive a F1 car to 99% of its potential. To put that into perspective most people can't drive an F1 car in video games to 99%, let alone do it without crashing once per lap and Latifi is able to do that in real life. Then consider he is doing that whilst contending with g forces up to 5 or 6 and doing it for 60 laps straight. Yeah F1 is not easy
@pop pixie Who has ever said that 😂
@@richardcollins1838 probably football fans they think football players are top notch athletes
He’s not driving that car to 99% potential. Maybe in terms of literally lap time but, he’s not better than 99% of professional drivers.

There are better talents out there but they don’t get a chance due to lack of fundings. Motogp champion, Valentino Rossi, was such. I bet he would been a better racer than Mazepin or Latifi
The real question is wether Williams deserves Goatifi 🐐
Shouldn't poke fun on him unfairly. He's 10kg heavier than De Vries, when you add that, makes his car a lot slower

Let us not forget that he's a great and cheerful personality. I will never forget his legendary onboard speech to thank Claire & Frank Williams after the team got taken over. And thanks to him, the legendary Williams team financially survived in extremely tough times. For that reason alone, he deserves a respectful ending to his F1 career. Just let the man finish his season and hopefully, he will find a seat somewhere else. And who knows, he might actually end up very successful in a different class. It certainly wouldn't be the first time. I truly wish all the best for him.
Yeah he definitely will do well in some other motorsport. Unfortunately, he just isn't good enough for F1
@pop pixie with formula e being the collision clusterfuck itself, I can't imagine it with latiffi 😂
Again: him being a great guy has nothing to do with his subpar talent (compared with the rest of the grid - aside from Stroll and Mazepin).
the only reason he's made it this long in F1 is because he is a pay driver. Nyck De Vries deserves that seat so much more and I'm glad he got the chance to show it
There all pay drivers it just depends if it's family or sponsors paying, if it's family by the time they hit f1 then usually it's bad.
He is a filthy rich Billionares son. His dad can buy the whole Williams team if he wants to.

@@rnichol22 Actually that is not true. Latifi is unlike Albon not paid by Williams. Because Williams doesn't have to pay Latifi a salary, they can use that money for R&D. That is why most pay drivers are found on backmarker teams.

After the Italian GP I'm pretty sure Latifi's career is over.
But remember that after 3 years of constant denigration, after all the hate he received after the Abu Dhabi GP, life is pretty harsh.
I can't imagine what's going in the mind of a driver that every time he opens a social media or an article everyone describes how bad he is.
He's surely not the best of the drivers out there but he doesn't deserve such hate.
@zak I get your point, but just because you get good results in junior series doesn't necessarily mean you are a promising driver. For example, Drugovich won this year but drivers like Sargeant, Doohan, Lawson are more likely to get a seat. It's more about how much progress you have made, rather than the points you've collected.
@zak I agree about pay drivers.
If a driver can't make it to F1 on merit alone and has to buy their way into a seat, then they are screwing a deserving driver out of career length, and as I said in another comment, screwing the fans out of seeing a skill set and excitement that only the best of the best can deliver.
It's crazy. George Russel got NO points at all in his first whole season at Williams!
Not that crazy consider the poor shape Williams was in and where the car was at that time. Remember that they had no parts for testing days?

@@NexuJin Ah, fair enough!
George is a really good driver, He is in front of Sainz. So, regardless Mercedes made the right call. George can't win in that car but if he does, he's a keeper.
It's like that famous quote "your only as good as your worst player" - Latifi is holding that team back. Just imagine how many points have been left on the table since last year because of him
Exactly, he's not helping Williams or himself in the slightest, he needs to realize that is his performance that sucks and not just the car, his two teammates have demonstrated that the car is capable of more.
Not much points at all really, at best they would keep finishing P12-14 (= out of the points) or something like that. Together with HAAS they're the worst of the bunch still and on own merit alone wouldn't really be finishing races in the Top 10. RedBull and Ferrari have by far the best pace, Mercedes has made a good comback and seem steady. Alpine seems solid. McLaren's lacking a little compared to the expectation this season, but still solid enough. That's your 5 teams for the Top 10. Alfa Romeo looks quite good, but has had pretty terrible reliability. Alpha Tauri seems underwhelming. The Aston Martin is very hit and miss. HAAS looked not to bad at the start of the season, now seems like a bit of a joke and well Williams... they're just holding ground. Not quite what Russell was capable extracting out of a Williams, but overall still decent compared to the last couple of years in hands of the family. But it needs weekends like the last, where there's tons of grid penalties and unfortunities of others to really capitalize on their opperunities to score points.

Have a look at the “Florida Winter Series” that Stroll, Verstappen and Latifi were in before they got to F1.
Equal cars, and Latifi absolutely dominated Max, so he has shown genuine pace on his way into F1 - it’s just whether he’s got enough pace now.
Potentially he would be doing the same as Ricciardo in the McLaren, and lots of people are calling for Daniel to stay in F1.
He really didn't. Latifi had seven podiums to Verstappen's five. Verstappen had three pole positions, Latifi had none. Verstappen had three fastest laps, Latifi had two. Verstappen had two DNF's, Latifi had one. Also the fact Latifi had experience in Formula 3 gave him and advantage, Verstappen didn't as he'd just come from Kz1 Karting.
Overall, Verstappen was the better driver in that championship. Even with Latifi's experience he only just edged out a kid fresh from Karting. He came second while Verstappen came third in the standings. Latifi is mediocre at best, definately doesn't deserve a seat in Formula 1.

He may have been good at a lower level, but he's shown that he's just not F1 material.
And de Vries just put an exclamation point on that particular idea. In a single race, he has pulled within 5 points of Latifi's *career total* in points. That speaks volumes on Latifi not being an F1-level talent.
Hate to be pedantic, but Latifi was NOT sponsored by the Bank of Canada, that's a federal agency. he was sponsored by the Royal Bank of Canada, which is a major banking corp.
I was wondering...lol As a Canadian I started looking into BOC sponsorships with 0% interest .
Goatifi is being humble. He doesn’t want to blow the other out of the water with his true driving skills
I'm very curious now, after hearing what the perfect lap times and deviations thereof are for latifi and his teammates what they will be for Verstappen and Perez. Verstappen seems so incredibly much faster than perez, so i'm curious how much the difference would be percentagewise
At the Italian GP, what people forget is that Nicholas started in P9, with De Vries in P8 (due to multiple engine penalties that day).

Albon's anesthesia issues are something of a nightmare and occur quite often. I wish for the best for his recovery. My mother has a very hard time coming off anesthesia and this is always a scare. Anesthesia needs to have a major focus on the neurological effects moving forward in the future for it to improve and become safer per individual.
No respiratory failure after anaesthesia is not “quite” common. What data are you quoting. All surgeries have risks, but anaesthetists should be well seasoned to deal with all potential anaesthetic complications

For the record Latifi is a good driver just not F1 worthy when there are so few seats. He has had his chance. Williams if moving forward as a team need 2 drivers maximising the car. Albon in seat 1 and either De Vries or Schumacher with a little sponsorship.
I don't get the sympathy because he's a good guy, it's sport. If you aren't at the top of your game you're replaced. Maybe bad of me but I think he needs replacing. It's an achievement when he's not the slowest driver on the grid.

I been watching F1 for years and Latifi has performed horribly. You could put him in the top car today Red Bull and he still wouldn’t finish in the points. Williams needed him at a time when Williams was desperate for cash. For that we are grateful otherwise Williams could have been out of F1. I agree it’s time to cut Latifi it’s the right call at the right time.
That's true, even in the best car he would still be hopeless... That's how bad he is.

I wonder if people ever think about Latifi actually being a human with real feelings before posting videos all over TH-cam, that would others lead to possibly suicide.
I think Latifi should be a test drive NOT a full dancing driver, Williams have a good car but not the best. ( look at Alborn just outside the points nearly every race )
I think Latifi is really grappling with the new car regulated designs, he was doing very well last year. It just didnt gel well with him this season.
You see the same thing happening to Ricciardo, who seems to really adapt poorly to the new cars.
The biggest achievement of Latifi is being solely responsible for giving Max Verstappen his first world drivers championship. His drive at the final race of 2021 in Abu Dhabi was masterful. For that I am eternally grateful.
Latifi just made the safety car come out. He didn’t control the mess with the safety car. If they had followed the rules then Max wouldn’t have won.
@@shrikanyasengupta4457 What about them? If they had followed the rules then it would have finished under safety car like Monza?
He may not be up to par in F 1 but who's to say he might prove O.k. in sports cars or some other form of racing. There has been a number of drivers who couldn't make F 1 who proved themselves capable drivers in other racing series. It'll be interesting to see what his future holds for him. Its too early to count him out.
Goatifi has seen this video and took p9 in Japan
People forget that Latifi was way older when he started racing compared to other f1 drivers, he is not good enough for f1 probably because of it, he is actually doing amazing considering it
That's not really relevant. De Vries is also 27 with no F1 experience and, well, he just showed us ..🤷♂️
@@deerlord2363 no dude, is not the age you are, is the age you started, doesn't pretty much every sport is this way
@@VirtualGobllim47 still not relevant. F1 should be for the top 20 drivers, not for the ones with the most money.
@@Wolfe1966 I literally just said in my comment he is "NOT GOOD ENOUGH", are you misreading it on purpose? Im not saying he should be there, Im saying that he is pretty good considering he started at an older age.
Your need for competition overcomes your's capacity to think?! for f* sakes
@@VirtualGobllim47 ever heard of Damon Hill? He started racecar driving at the age of 23! He became worldchampion in 1996. Should have won in 1994 as well if Schumacher hadn't "accidently" pushed him off the track. So age is not relevant, skills are.
He must not be BAD , he is comparatively bad.
This hasn't aged too well. Also commenting on George's statement, max has never drove against nick till this seasons opportunity.
It's maddening that Latifi has a drive while Riciardo is being axed
Well Riccardo has not been delivering either. Both nice guys, but if they're not bringing anything to the table anymore there's not much the teams can do to keep them around...🤷♂️
@@deerlord2363 Latifi has never done anything in f1.
Riciardo has been successful everywhere apart from McLaren. Riciardo with a car that suits his style, is still very capable. I don't think Latifi would beat anyone else in f1 in any car
Deserved that seat when Williams were in trouble and Sofina was on the sidepod, De Vries deserves that seat next season.
Tricky one without latifi Williams would be gone. Unless defrise has good sponsors and rich parents he has to find about 30mil. I suspect latifi will stay. This still shows that F1 is still very much broken and it being all about best driver has long since gone. FACT there is not a driver on the grid in the last 10 years who's parents are not multi millionaires
Uh... There are currently a few drivers who didn't come from Rich families: Ocon, Leclerc, Tsunoda, Magnussen, Russell, Bottas, Ricciardo, Gasly.
@@deerlord2363 are you for real? Leclerc family are rich they live in Monaco. Russell family are rich. Magnusen dad is an ex f1 driver who is rich Ricardo dad's runs his own buisness and is very wealthy . Bottas dad has his own company. Fact is you have to be wealthy even to get to karting , formula ford etc. Ocon perhaps but his family made stupid sacrifices tgat woukd destroy a normal family household and was only possible because he had his own company. There is not a driver out there that has family who just had regular jobs
Well don't you look silly now. P9 for the 🐐
F1 team needs money Latifi’s dad has got it. This has never been a sport about who’s best. Its about who’s best AND who can either attract sponsors through winning, or just pay to drive. F1 is a business, its not meant to be “fair”.
According to latifi, the only reason why de vries was ahead of him was the car
He's really looking for excuses to justify the fact that a driver in his first ever F1 race finished in front of him and scored points?
The bit about Albon was class.
Damn. You shredded this guy to pieces.
tbh I think it is very possible both Mazepin and Latifi are on the same level. We technically never saw Mazepin with an OK car, so we don't really know.
hahahahahah you didnt have to drag NASCAR like that at the end
His ability to spin out of nowhere like in Abu Dhabi was oustanding...
Well he got 2 points now so now he at 20 again
I actually genuinely felt bad for him. But not so much now after what he told the media about how he felt on Nyck's results in Monza...
Latifi misses Mazepin.
So does Stroll. As soon as Mazepin was gone people quickly went back to hate on latifi and stroll
@@deerlord2363 at least Stroll has a pole position and 181 points to his name.
@@andyangchannel And most importantly: 3 podiums. So at least we know he can drive.
How is a car's 'perfect lap time' estimated? I'm assuming it's computer simulation but I'm curious about the details, or if it is something else.
