Nicholas Latifi is not confident of much success when he races on home soil for the first time in his Formula 1 career this weekend.
The Williams racer has never taken part in the Canadian Grand Prix, given the event's absence from the annual schedule since 2019 due to the Covid pandemic. Now, the trip to Montreal has returned and, although Latifi is excited to compete in front of a friendly crowd, he is not expecting fireworks.
"I've actually never even raced a car in Canada before," said the Montreal-born racer. "Sure, I've raced karts. But nothing more than that because there aren't any junior categories on home soil. A lot of European drivers experience their home track before reaching F1... but that hasn't happened for me.
