The Canadian driver has been constantly outperformed by his teammates. Therefore, at the end of the 2022 season, Williams chose to sack him and replace him with the F2 graduate Logan Sargeant.
Latifi is not among the most renowned drivers of the F1 but he does have a reputation among fans for making the most bewildering blunders.
But apart from the blunders that brought him a total of 9 points, Latifi comes from a wealthy family. His father, Michael Latifi, even invested around $270 Million in the McLaren group. The F1 driver himself has a net worth of $5 Million as reported by Give Me Sport.
