Williams super fan honours Nicholas Latifi tattoo pledge as F1 driver breaks points duck
Max Verstappen clinched the F1 title in confusing fashion, the much-criticised Nicholas Latifi finally scored his first points of the season.It has been a tough third and probably final season in F1 for the Canadian, who has been the subject of social media ridicule due to a spate of crashes and poor pace compared to teammate Alex Albon and even Albon’s late-minute stand-in at the Italian Grand Prix, Nyck de Vries.Therefore it was no surprise when it was announced after Monza that Latifi would leave Williams at the end of the season, despite the fact his billionaire father Michael’s food company has been a key sponsor of the team.

However, he avoided that fate with an excellent drive to ninth in treacherous conditions at Suzuka, finishing ahead of the McLarens of Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo.That came after a rather embarrassing start to the weekend when he went the wrong way before a corner during practice on Friday.As a result, a US-based Williams fan has seemingly got himself a tattoo to mark the occasion, having previously promised to do if the driver scored points this season.

Daniel Ricciardo warned it could be 'game over' if he accepts third driver role in F1
Daniel Ricciardo has been urged to consider options outside Formula 1 following his McLaren sacking by former world champion Jenson Button.Ricciardo’s spell with the Woking team will end a year early at the close of 2022 following a hugely disappointing two years following his arrival from Renault (now Alpine).The Australian had been linked with Haas and a return to Alpine but with those seats set to go to other drivers, it looks as though he will have to settle for a reserve driver role for 2023. Ricciardo has said he would be open to such a move and has reportedly held talks with Mercedes and former team Red Bull.
