The second Canadian representative in Formula 1 in 2021 has set its objectives for the upcoming campaign. Nicholas latifi (Williams) who will finally seek to open his points tally for his second season in the discipline, will also focus on progressing during testing.

So, here's our FW43B! Looks good, doesn't it? The livery is fresh and clean, and while it represents a new beginning at @WilliamsRacing I love the yellow accents which are a nod to the team's fantastic heritage and previous cars. Excited to see how it looks on track in Bahrain! pic.twitter.com/jnNdbkpKaC

“Obviously, Sunday's performance is the most important, but I think I'm lucky to ride with a teammate who we nicknamed 'Mr Samedi'”, declares the wearer of number 6, speaking of George Russell.

“George draws the quintessence of car When testing, this gives me a good reference point. The goal is always to beat your teammate, at least to reach your level in qualifying and then to get the most out of the car. This is a huge work area for me. »

Here's my 2021 lid – sticking with the same design as last season. Just about to be shipped to the UK from my long-time painter in the US, the talented Tyler at Censport. Thanks for another excellent job! # NL6 pic.twitter.com/VCoOm0ixUf

The Toronto native will therefore aim to start from a more decent position on Sunday early in the afternoon. “It’s my priority. Sundays seemed to come more naturally for me, although there is always room for improvement. Race management and strategy was already my strong point in Formula 2."

The 25-year-old's best performance on Saturday was a 15th fastest time in Budapest (Hungary) at the start of the season, but his average position was only 19th.
