Nicholas Latifi is looking forward to his debut Formula 1 season but is expecting it to be a tough battle with his teammate George Russell who already has a years experience in the sport. 

"I’m going to try and do my own thing. I’m my own person, my own driver," Latifi said to RaceFans

"Obviously George is one of the highest-rated junior drivers. I’m very much looking forward to going up against him. For sure he’ll be a good benchmark, a good reference for me in the beginning parts to learn. He’s not going to be a rookie any more next year so I assume he will have some advantage.

"I think we’re going to work very well together. Where the results are, where the performance is going to be, it’s obviously very difficult to say. But regardless, my goal is still going to be to just try to extract the maximum performance, whatever package we have."

Latifi will hope to impress and end Russell's dominance at Williams.
