Nicholas Latifi 2023 net worth: How much does Williams sacked driver earns?
Nicholas Latifi made his debut with the Williams F1 team in the 2020 season. He stayed with the team up until the end of the 2022 season.
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.
