Williams driver Nicholas Latifi owns a number of high-end personal sports cars, five to be exact as per reports.
Formula One is a gruelling sport which is not always kind to every single driver that finds thelselves on the grid. While some make it to the top of the mountain thanks to years and years of training and a bit of natural talent, some are faced with a lot of bad luck and just cannot seem to get their groove going. A prime example of this scenario is Nicholas Latifi. As of 2022, Latifi is a part of the Williams F1 team and so far, his F1 career has been one to forget.
The Canadian driver has often found himself on the wrong end of a number of situations and that has visibly taken a toll on his confidence. Due to his poor run of form, there were rumours coming from the Williams’ paddock that the team was in the hunt for a replacement driver. The Canadian also found himself on the receiving end of a number of threats after the end of the 2021 season as it was his crash that brought out the Safety Car, eventually resulting in one of the most controversial endings in F1.

In 2018, he was a Force India reserve test driver, and in 2019, he was a Williams reserve test driver. Latifi replaced Robert Kubica as a racing driver for the 2020 season, partnering former Formula 2 racer George Russell at Williams.

Sunnybrook’s notion of how to enhance baby-parent attachment when babies require incubators was shared by the Latifi family. In 2008, they launched the Sofina & Amici Golf Classic, a family-friendly golf tournament that has collected over USD 3.7 million for charity.
