Latifi: “Hamilton supported me when I received threats on my life”

by

THE Nicholas Latifi discussing his future on the ‘Beyond the Grid podcast’ he spoke of the support and messages of support he received from Lewis Hamilton because of the threats to his life, which he received after the “Yas Marina” circuit in Abu Dhabi.

To last game of last seasonthe French driver crashed his car at Turn 14 with the safety car entering the track with just five laps to go, a condition which gave Max Verstappen the possibility to change to soft tires and “nibble” the difference from the first – until then – Hamilton, until finally he overtakes him and is crowned champion for the first time.

This fact seems to have angered many Mercedes fans who considered Latifi to be responsible for the development of the race, with him a few days later publicly speaking about serious threats to his life. Even with the incident in the past, he recently stated that Lewis Hamilton contacted him, supporting him in this difficult situation he was experiencing.

Lewis texted me and reached out, he was very out of touch with what was happening on social media but he has his own things to worry about. But he sent me a very nice message, he was very supportive.. also other members of the Marcedes crew contacted me“, emphasized the Canadian pilot of Williams.
