Nicholas Latifi has revealed he received death threats in response to the major role he had in deciding the outcome of the Formula 1 world championship.
The Williams driver inadvertently had an influencing factor on deciding the 2021 F1 title battle between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton when he crashed in the closing stages of the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Latifi’s crash resulted in the Safety Car that led to the controversial restart which ultimately set up Verstappen’s last-lap overtake on Hamilton to clinch both the race win and world title.
Latifi issued an apology for the unwanted role he played and “purposely” stayed away from social media in the direct aftermath of the race in the wake of a torrent of online abuse.
This needs to stop.
