Shortly after the confirmation of George Russell who will ride for a third season with Williams, Nicholas Latifi is also confirmed. Williams chooses the safe option and keeps the same line-up for the first time since 2016 two years in a row.
Confirmation Latifi
Latifi rides his first season at Williams this year and is the only rookie of 2020. Already after two races Williams announces that the Canadian can stay for a second season.
Nicholas Latifi's father, Michael Latifi, has become a big backer of the team and the logos of his companies are prominent on the new livery of the FW43.
Williams takeover
Williams is looking for a new owner of the team, but both drivers think that their position in the team will not be at risk when the team is actually bought over.
