His second full season in the category, now called Formula 2, was more promising. Latifi became a regular on the podium, and when eighth place in the feature race at Silverstone gave him pole position for Sunday’s sprint event, he led all 21 laps on the way to his first victory for three years. Charles Leclerc romped away with the championship, and Artem Markelov, Oliver Rowland and Nicholas Latifi separated him from Latifi in the final points standings. A promising season also included his first F1 test, with Renault.
