Ex-Williams F1 driver Nicholas Latifi quits racing and announces career change

Latifi, who took ❀part in 61 races for Williams between 2020-2022 and scored a best result of seventh place at the 2021 Hungarian Grand 🍌Prix, revealed he has signed up for an MBA at London Business School.
The Canadian, who lost his Williams F1 seat to Logan 💟Sargeant༒ at the end of last season, has largely kept a low profile out of the spotlight since leaving the sport.
"I decided very early on in the year that🐈 I wouldn't have any racing plans for 2023," he wrote. "It definitely felt very stran♑ge not having the same routine I'd been in for over half my life.
"Knowing that I wo🐈uldn't be behind the wheel of a race car this yea♛r, I had obviously begun to think of what could be next for me, whether that involved racing or something completely different.
"I decided that for t💟he immediate future, I wanted to take some time and pursue a different avenue and focus on another path.
"Growing up, I always had a keen interest in the world🍌 of business, and I always said it was something I would've studied at university had I not gone the r💛acing route.
"With that in mind, and knowing I might be taking a break from racing, I decided that I want to pursue an MBA degree and focus on something that would transform the next phase of my life. An MBA was always something that I had contemplated doing post-racing✃ life, even if that had been into my late 30s and early 40s.
"This was not an easy process and took many month♚s! Anyone who has experienced the journey of applying to a business school knows how difficult it can be.
"After a five-month journey from starting the process, I am pleased to say that my candidacy was accepted for a place in the MBA𝐆 program at London Business School (LBS), which I will be starting in August of this year."
He added: “This decision may seem surprising to a lot of 🦄people. Transitioning to a different racing category might have seemed t♒he most obvious move.
“However, I knew there would al🌼ways be a life post-racing at some point, and I decided that now might be a good time to prepare myself for that.”
But Latifi has not completeꦍly ruled out a return ♚to racing in the future.
"This is not necessarily a goodbye to the racing world forever," he said. ♑"Racing has been my life since the age of 13 and is still something I am extremely passionate about.
"I haven't missed watching an F1 race yet this season! However, I felt like this year was the right time 🐟to explore and pursue other avenues in my life.
"I'm very much looking forward to this next adventure and want to thank everyone who has supported ▨me throughout my career thus far. I hope I can continue to have your support as I take ✨some time to pursue a different path.”
