Why Williams dropped Latifi 

GOAT level stuff

The first driver on track of any Q session always sets purple sectors (and in the first 2022 round all sectors were purple all the time because of some software glitch).

@@KAMiKAZOW IIRC Latifi got his near the end of the session and in Hungary.

Kind of unfair as he's pretty much the only one who consistently can finish the same position in qualy

What does this mean? Fastest sector or something?

glad you agree! i think that's a point that a lot of people miss out, that while Latifi is not great for an F1 driver, he's still miles better than you or me!

I really hope Latifi succeeds at another category. Maybe Indy or DTM.

@Alex Talks F1 Mazepin's team already won an offroad race iirc

Yeah, roast what we want about Latifi but there's no way I can beat even his time on the sim, nor not spin the car even once. Remember those F1 cars do not have TC / ABS...

@@zef9151 *Mazepin's team already won an offroad race* Yes in Tanks!

Very disappointed in MaFIA's attitude here. The GOAT will not be stopped😈

I was gonna say something unfunny, but the maFIA have me in hell

hahahaha best comment thank you

Correction Toto Wolff

Yes, that is the only possible explanation!

thanks man!

That made me LOL so much too! 😂

The WallLord Latifi

In Japan FP2 Latifi took a safety lane instead of the track and blamed the car again 😂

We both clicked on it my dude

I've always felt so bad for the team engineers and Williams crew. You spent your life studying and mastering your craft only for your product to be driven by Latifi. That would've been so demoralizing. I'm glad he got sacked

@@stevePDx must be demoralising for him always being in the slowest car on the grid, must be time for the engineers to be sacked.

why u all hate latifi is not up to f1 standards

Hasses*

Latifi is actually the worst driver on the grid in the last few years. Its amazing Williams kept him for this long - they should have dropped him when they managed to get rid of Stroll.

Respect

Frankly, yes

yes

See 😂😂😂

Yes.

not really... unless there are jokes on it 😄

i hope so! and yeah i don’t think williams had a difficult decision from monza😂

In 2021 first driver to score points for Williams was GOATifi, how can you forget such important thing?

@@q3eq3eq65 oh yeah i keepp forgoetting things, thanks for refreshing my memories

@@Kangiru_Noah yeah np mate, maFiA doesnt want you to know how powerful driver goatifi is

Thank you! :)

Aww this is such a lovely comment.

he's just bad and not for f1

@@mike04574 I've seen a lot worse

Sibling jealousy

@@HudHudProductions or maybe he’s embarrassed

vips's career is over

Lawson and vips don't have super licenses and won't by the end of this year. So I wouldn't hope to much, especially as like the guy above said vips is more than likely not even going to be on the f2 grid next year unless he buys a team

@@elcactusdelamuerte506 i do know this but still we can dream

@@blobfishking941 You can dream, but it’s literally impossible for Vips or Lawson to get the seat next year. In Vips case likely impossible any year, he doesn’t have the financial backing or proven himself a good enough driver to be worth the PR issues.

abu dhabi was just a meme, 2022 is why he's leaving

​@@GarkKahn He received a lot of death threats for that crash, who knows how that affected him.

Indeed, every driver would do everything to get into f1, and the same to stay in it

I think DeVries will go to Alpha Tauri, Gasly to Alpine, and Sargeant to Williams

@@jamesmathie2696 I agree

@@jamesmathie2696 yup, this is whats going to happen

@@jamesmathie2696 if Sargeant gets a seat before Colton Herta does, the Internet will explode. I'm sorry, but he isn't ready yet and it's crying shame that politics held Herta back

@@ivaneurope he’s not ready? He’s in his rookie season in formula 2 and has achieved more than 90% of the grid. Legit the likes of alonso, vestappen, vettel, gasly, riccardio, sainz, stroll, zhou, tsunoda, ocon, bottas and albon were not ready for f1 by your explanation

ur unfunny

This aged well!!

@@Footballracerart very well indeed.

Yeah he'll probably do alright in anything that isn't openwheel. F1 is just a step above.

as you should be :)

Danny would drive for free. He's already got next year's salary from McLaren.

@@hotwings9382 Wasn't it that he only got that money if he didn't get a drive?

He has a salary, you know.

@@gandalf_thegrey salary => money from the team => money from sponsors

If he keeps racing, I see it more likely he'll go to Formula E. I cant say why but I don't think that he'd fit any better in Indy.

He’d get eaten alive straight away in Indy racing.

Fucking hell, an indycar might be the worst open-wheel car he could end up in. They only really perform on the ragged edge of traction, with the rear end moving around quite a bit on power, and while they're apparently fairly predictable at the limit, the lack of power steering means you need to be on top of the inevitable oversteer literally as it happens, or you aren't going to catch it in time. Also, I don't trust him to not throw some stupid block on an oval and send someone into the catch fencing Wickens-style. Stick him in something that can take a few whacks, with more consistent handling, and see how he does at the very least before letting him touch an indycar.

I've never been measured by my efforts or the process, but by results. Nothing personal, just the way it works.

thanks Tommy!

I mean... they have 6 points.

It's definitely the slowest car this year.

Lmfao the only people who would say this are Aston Martin or Haas fans. It doesn't matter what graph or data you look at Williams are comfortably the slowest

Even if Latifi was able to match Albon's performances they would only have 8 points. Williams is clearly the most uncompetitive team this year yet again.

@@soundscape26 Yet Albon was able to score points whenever possible anyway and that's the key here. Albon showed that scoring points in the sport's slowest car is possible given the right circumstances and that he can still finish ahead of cars that are supposedly faster than him.

@@dustinabigan2776 I'm not defending Latifi at all... nice chap but painfully slow. Just that Williams is the slowest car this year, answering John's question in the video... Williams is definitely not a "solid midfielder".

@@soundscape26 Am just saying that even if it is the slowest car, it can still score points, even last year that was the case. And granted that there is likely something in Williams that is holding them back, Latifi is the obvious reason why they can't maximize results every week. Slowest car or being a backmarker doesn't mean the team is hopeless in scoring points. I'm not saying you're defending Latifi, I'm simply stating the fact that Latifi is holding back the team way more than expected, and that's been made more evident when De Vries got points on his first race. Williams has the setup for straight line speeds as shown with Spa and Monza, but only one driver is taking actual advantage of this while the other is still drowning. It's clear Latifi needs to go and only then can there be more focus on any issues at Williams. To sum it up, I saw another comment here comparing Albon's performance compared to Latifi's. Albon showed that he was capable of holding his own against faster cars regardless if they are points finishes or not, yet Latifi can't do so in any circumstance.

he's 21st

lol no shit, most professional drivers cant do better either
