Hulkenberg replaces Vettel, scores no points, but still plans to return to title

Canadian in the championship lantern

Williams’ Nicholas Latifi also showed disappointing results in the 2022 F1 season. At the Monaco GP, the driver also suffered a collision with a wall. Unlike the accident with Mick Schumacher’s car, the incident in which Latifi was involved was nothing more than a minor accident – in the slowest corner of the track.

After the race, the Canadian had to explain himself. According to him, something “very strange” happened with the accelerator of the Williams car: “it did not lock up, but it was as if the accelerator had a brake”, he said. he reveals. The pilot said he knew he had done nothing wrong and said when he tried to turn the corner he was “thrown suddenly”.

Other accidents involving Latifi occurred during the Abu Dhabi stages, when he crashed into a barrier six laps from the end of the race, at turn 14, and during qualifying practice for the GP of Australia, in which fellow Canadian Lance Stroll of Aston Martin crashed into the Williams driver between turns 5 and 6.

The next stage of Formula 1 will take place on the 12th, in Azerbaijan.
