<h2>Circuit Details</h2>
Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Stavelot, Belgium, has hosted various veins of motorsports. The authorities have kept a close eye on maintaining the perfect form of the track, and it has hence been refurbished several times.

The circuit, at present, after the addition of new pit lanes and Bus Stop chicane, measures 7.004 kilometers with 19 turns. It comprises 44 laps with a racing distance of 308.052 kilometers. The grid has quick, complicated, tricky corners, chicanes, turns, and bridges. The first sector is the interesting of all. The hairpin turn 1 is famous for pile-ups during race starts.

And then arrives the world-famous Eau Rouge, which witnesses a steep rise in altitude, almost leaving the drivers facing the sky followed by a massive Kemmel straight, before reaching the tricky section of corners, named Les Combes.

Despite the unprecedented weather situation, it is a beloved track. The circuit demands proper development of skills and strategies along with the speed to stand tall in the race.

It has produced several dramatic and historic races in its term of existence, like in the years 1952, 1963, 1966, 1985, 1995, and 2017. The race for the last race at Spa-Francorchamps went to Lewis Hamilton on August 30, 2020.

<h2><strong>Nicholas Latifi 2021: Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</strong></h2>
Canadian driver Nicholas Latifi made his F1 debut with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/williams/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Williams</a> in 2020. He got into the team to replace Robert Kubica, who further jumped ship to Alfa Romeo as a reserve driver.

His prior F1 experience included test driver roles for Renault, the erstwhile Force India team, and its successor, Racing Point Formula One.

He also spent the 2019 season as a test and reserve driver for Williams F1 before the big promotion.

His debut came at the 2020 Austrian Grand Prix, where he qualified last on the grid in 20th but finished the race in 11th place after nine other cars retired. Williams is due to retain both Russell and Latifi for the 2021 season.

<h2>Nicholas Latifi: Family</h2>
Latifi is the son of Michael Latifi, an Iranian-Canadian businessman who is the CEO of Sofina Foods, Inc. and also owns a British Virgin Islands company Nidala.

Through Nidala, Michael Latifi invested <a href="https://www.thedrive.com/accelerator/20985/father-of-f2-racer-nicholas-latifi-becomes-mclaren-group-shareholder-in-270m-deal" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">£200 million</a> (around US$270 million) in the McLaren Group.
<h2><strong>Nicholas Latifi: On-track </strong><b>Achievements</b></h2>
