Nicholas Latifi returned to the F1 paddock at Silverstone before the British Grand Prix, nearly three years after leaving Williams, present in a promotional role rather than as a driver.
The Canadian started 61 grands prix with Williams, scoring points three times. His tenure included the 2021 Abu Dhabi crash that inadvertently shaped the controversial safety-car finale.
Since leaving F1, Latifi has pivoted off-track, co-founding Leve tequila and completing a degree at London Business School, signalling a deliberate shift away from full-time competition.
At Silverstone he appeared as a DJ during a Leve event, a cameo amplified by creators Matt and Tommy, whose footage circulated widely across social channels and the paddock.

The sight of Latifi back among teams and media prompted nostalgia for an era of Williams rebuilds, where his contribution was steady rather than headline-grabbing.
Off-track activations like this underline F1’s broader commercial ecosystem, where former drivers retain relevance through brand work, hospitality, and media, without the operational burdens of a race seat.
Since 2022, he has co‑founded Leve tequila and completed a London Business School degree.
The timing was apt, with Silverstone again anchoring the calendar’s mid-season rhythm. Lewis Hamilton praised the venue’s significance, echoing coverage of the British GP at Silverstone earlier in the week.
Beyond the cameo, the 2026 season narrative marches on, blending new races, evolving team dynamics, and ongoing format debates, including attention on the British Grand Prix sprint running.
Fan engagement reflects that breadth, from creator content to broadcast coverage, with many tracking how to watch the British GP stream as storylines develop through the weekend.
