Latifi shared, “I saw the news over the past days that I’ve already signed a contract to race in IndyCar which I found a little bit funny.”
As of now, no IndyCar teams have officially approached 27-year-old for the upcoming seasons.
IndyCar, however, is a series that attracted many F1 drivers in the past. Drivers like Romain Grosjean and Marcus Ericsson went to the series and found success there. It’ll be interesting to see if the Williams driver elects to take the same path.

As for Latifi, it is just three races to go this season. Till now he has managed to pick up two points in the 2022 F1 season.
