Nicholas Latifi

Nicholas Latifi (born 29 June 1995) is a Canadian-Iranian racing driver. Son of an Iranian-Canadian businessman, Michael Latifi, he worked his way from the lower series to enter Formula Earth in 2020 for Williams. After failing to score a single point, the only driver to do so, he moved to the newly formed Audi team. There, he scored his first and only point in the series. After failing to prove himself in the series, Latifi stepped down to Formula International. In his first ever season, driving for Mercedes, he won his first ever title. In 2023, he moved to Racing Point. After a poor first season, due to Racing Point experiencing a first season of learning, he became the most succesful driver in the history of the series. From 2024 to 2026, he won 3 succesive titles with the Canadian team, the streak breaking in 2027 by Nissan driver Roman Massey. In 2028, he won one further title for Racing Point. Surprisingly though, he left the team after that season, being dropped in favour of test driver Alexandre Gagnon. He moved to Alpine for one last season, finishing 10th, before leaving due to age restrictions. Still, he is considered the best driver to race in Formula International after failing to establish himself at Formula Earth
