Nicholas Latifi Finally Meets His Biggest Fan Who Took Extreme Measures to Fulfil Bizarre F1 Promise

Canadian F1 driver Nicholas Latifi met his biggest fan ahead of the upcoming American Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. Formula 1 is in the North American country for the second time this season for the race at the Circuit of The Americas this weekend.

As Latifi is set to leave the sport after the end of 2022, he got to meet his biggest fan ahead of Sunday’s race after he picked up important two points for himself and the team. In a video shared by Williams Racing F1’s official Twitter handle, the fan came out and shared his bizarre fandom story.

The video starts with Latifi appreciating the fan, “Dude you’re awesome” and then the man [the fan] speaks up to say, “I’ll always be rooting for you,” and to which Latifi again replied, “Thank you, Appreciate it.” Following this, the fan of the Canadian driver started sharing his story, “I’ve been a Latifi fan since he ever came to F1.”

“I think his attitude is best on the grid. He’s just like the nicest guy and he never gives up. That’s really important for people to get and I said ‘hey, if he gets point, I’m getting a tattoo. I made that promise to him and I kept it,” conveyed the biggest fan of Nicholas Latifi.

Is IndyCar the next possible destination for Nicholas Latifi?

Nicholas Latifi, who scored his first-ever points in the 2022 F1 season in the recently concluded Japanese Grand Prix, is all set to leave the sport after this season.

Even though the team hasn’t named a driver to partner Alexander Albon for next year, Latifi’s future might be already set. According to sources by David Land, Latifi might see him driving at the United States’ IndyCar championship in 2023.

The 27-year-old driver could pair up with former F1 driver Marcus Ericsson at the Chip Ganassi Racing in the IndyCar. Apart from Ericsson, many F1 drivers, including Romain Grosjean, have switched to IndyCar after their F1 chapter was over and found great success in the sport.

Being a North American, Nicholas Latifi certainly has every reason to opt for the move. However, there is nothing concrete yet on this from any side. Currently, in F1, the Williams driver is on P20 in the driver’s championship with two points after 18 races.
