Formula One season is underway and, despite being just four races young, suggestions are emerging that indicate we could see the first driver change of 2022.Williams driver Nicholas Latifi has come under scrutiny yet again, with the Canadian being outperformed by teammate Alex Albon already - having been outshone in each of his two previous seasons by George Russell, which earned him a seat alongside Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes.Further adding to the pressure is the fact that Williams is no longer a family-run business, following the sale to Dorilton Capital, which brought around changes across the team structure including the appointment of Jost Capito who has been supportive of Latifi.In the end though, it's a results business and the fact that Latifi has also sustained a number of crashes, which are extremely expensive and provide a significant impact to the team's budget cap, the writing may well be on the wall with highly-rated Formula 2 champion Oscar Piastri touted for the seat.Sky Sports' Ted Kravitz has reported that Williams are looking at Piastri, who is a reserve driver for Alpine, as a potential option for a seat in 2023 but Spanish journalist Albert Fabrega has suggested 'shocking' changes are imminent for unnamed F1 teams - with a 'swap' on the cards, which may possibly refer to Alpine essentially loaning Piastri to Williams for a number of seasons. Criticism towards Latifi throughout his Formula 1 career has come from his alleged 'pay driver' status, referencing the fact that his father Michael Latifi is a billionaire who reportedly secured Williams a loan during the coronavirus pandemic, while his company Sofina Foods is also a sponsor of the team.
