Nicholas Latifi leaves F1 fans baffled as he goes wrong way in Japanese GP practice

Nicholas Latifi produced one of the strangest moments of practice at Suzuka this weekend when he took a wrong turn on the track.

TV cameras caught the moment he got lost, turning down a dead end instead of following the track layout in use for this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix. As a result, instead of open track the Williams was faced with an Armco barrier, forcing him into a hasty U-turn.

"The car feels strange," he told his race engineer as he turned around to rejoin the actual track route, perhaps suggesting he had taken that turn on purpose. But not everyone was buying that explanation on social media.
