“…Is a Series I’m Considering”: Nicholas Latifi Reveals His Next Destination Post F1 Career

A handful of races are left before Nicholas Latifi bids goodbye to the sport. The Canadian driver, who joined the sport three years back, hasn’t had a scintillating career in Formula 1. With the F1 chapter almost over, the Williams driver, however, revealed his next probable destination.

During an interview before the Mexican Grand Prix race, Latifi shared his thoughts on IndyCar, another renowned single-seater race competition. Even though nothing is concrete as yet, speculations say that Latifi might give IndyCar a try.

Talking about this, Latifi conveyed to Sky Sports F1, “It’s all just rumors. I haven’t decided yet from my future. Of course, I’ve been exploring options and IndyCar is a series I’m considering, for sure, but I’ve not decided on anything yet.”

“It’s definitely still on the table. But at the same time, if there’s not an option on the table that I feel is the right one for next year then I’m not necessarily ruling out taking a year to then put something better together for the following one,” further conveyed the Canadian.

Nicholas Latifi found IndyCar rumors funny

As the speculation regarding Nicholas Latifi joining IndyCar gained traction, it reached the driver’s ear too. Latifi, however, found the entire thing funny. Despite no official confirmations, there were rumors all around about the Canadian having signed the contract already.

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.

Admittedly, Williams still doesn’t have a driver to pair with Alexander Albon next year, as their proposed driver Logan Sargeant will need to have an FIA Super license by the end of this year to race in F1. 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.
