The season certainly didn't start in the best way Williams, and especially for Nicholas latifi, which, he can't find, let alone get close to the results of his teammate: Alexander albon. The world of social media and journalism, taking advantage of the bad results of the Canadian driver, had in fact speculated on a possible dismissaleven mid-season. Latifs however, during the riders' press conference that precedes the Spanish weekend, he clarified the matter, returning to talk about the media hatred that always pours against him.
“A Miami I felt comfortable with the car. – said Latifi in the press conference – Having done city races in the first part of the season didn't help to find the feeling with the car. From the winter tests to today there has been a small evolution of the car. There are things that make it faster than in the tests, we have less weight now".
Certainly the performance of the Williams they don't help. Since the beginning of the season, the English team has managed to collect only 3 points and all 3 thanks to Albon. The Canadian driver is the first to admit that he has several problems with the new generation single-seater. Everything was then exacerbated by a series of accidents that forced the team to focus both on the supply of spare parts and on the preparation of updated parts.
There is no respite
To complicate everything then also the hatred on social networks, first of all the one relating to the 2021 season finale, which ended with the accident in Abu Dhabi GP which triggered a safety car that reversed the battle for the world title, delivering it effectively, and dramatically, to Max Verstappen. Subsequently, he has in fact been subjected to criticism and even death threats from disgruntled fans of Lewis Hamilton.
Now that the championship is more alive and the driver market window is approaching, there are those who believe that their time in Williams and in Formula 1 in general is over. A thought however not shared by the Canadian who reiterates: “The rumors about my split from Williams? They made me laugh. They are just speculations.
