“Williams Racing and Nicholas Latifi will part ways at the end of the 2022 Season,” the team tweeted. “We want to thank Nicky for his commitment and hard work over the last three years and wish him all the best in the next steps of his career.”The place of Latifi, 27, was already under scrutiny before the Italian Grand Prix, where he found himself partnered by Mercedes reserve driver Nyck de Vries after Albon was ruled out with an appendicitis.
