Williams have confirmed they will part ways with Nicholas Latifi at the end of the 2022 Formula One campaign.
Latifi was widely expected to leave Williams upon the expiration of his contract this year, with the team reportedly considering a full-time seat for Nyck de Vries, who recently deputised for them at Monza.
The Canadian failed to pick up any points during his first campaign with Williams in 2020, first doing so with a seventh-placed finish at last year’s Hungarian Grand Prix.
Lafiti, whose crash at last year’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix led to a highly contentious finish to Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen’s title fight, has failed to finish higher than 12th in any race this term.
Williams chief executive and team principal Jost Capito said: “On behalf of the whole team, I would like to say an enormous thank you to Nicholas for his three years of hard work with Williams.
“He is a great team player who has a great attitude towards his colleagues and work and is well liked and respected throughout the business.
“Our time together is now coming to an end, but I know he will put full effort in to maximise what we can do together for the remainder of this season. We wish him all the very best of luck for his future, both in and out of the cockpit.”
