Jost Capito has rubbished claims that Williams are preparing to dump out-of-form Nicholas Latifi and said “we stick to our drivers.”

Speculation has been growing about the Canadian’s future in the sport with some suggesting his home race in Montreal may be his last with highly-rated prospect Oscar Piastri ready to step in and replace him.

After routinely being outperformed by his team-mate George Russell last season, that trend has continued into 2022 with new recruit Alex Albon currently being able to get more out of the Williams car.

After eight rounds, Latifi resides in last in the Drivers’ Standings behind even Niko Hulkenberg who only raced two Grands Prix following Sebastian Vettel’s absence with Covid at the start of the season.
