Complete message from Nicholas Latifi

Hi everybody.

I know I’ve been silent on social media this year. I’ve received many messages from fans all over the world asking what I’ve been up to and what my plans are for the future. Recently, I have some news that I want to share with you all.

At the beginning of the year I decided that I would have no plans to compete in 2023. It felt very strange not to have the same routine as I have for more than half of my life. Knowing that I wasn’t going to be behind the wheel of a race car this year, I obviously started thinking about what the next step might be for me, whether it involved racing or something else entirely.

I decided that in the future, I wanted to take the time and go down a different path and focus on another path.

I’ve always been very interested in the world of business, and I’ve always said it was something I would have studied in college if I hadn’t gone down the career path. With that in mind, and knowing that I would be taking a break from racing, I decided to pursue an MBA (Master of Business Administration) and focus on something that will change the next phase of my life. I always considered taking an MBA after racing, even though I was in my late 30s and early 40s.

When I decided early in the year that what I wanted to do was an MBA, I began spending my time researching business schools and seeing which one was right for me, preparing applications, and studying for the GMAT (the exam that most schools require and their applications). It was not an easy process and it took months. Anyone who has gone through the experience of applying to business school knows how hard it can be. After a five-month journey since the start of the process, I am pleased to report that my application has been accepted for a place on the London Business School (LBS) MBA program, which I will begin in August this year.

This decision may surprise many. Moving to another category may seem like the obvious thing to do. However, I knew that there would always be life after the race at some point, and I decided that now might be a good time to prepare for it. It’s not necessarily goodbye to the world of racing forever. Racing has been my life since I was 13 years old and it continues to be something I really enjoy doing. This season I didn’t miss a single F1 race. However, I feel this year is the right time to explore and follow other paths in my life.

I am very excited about this new adventure and I want to thank everyone who has supported me throughout my career so far. I look forward to continuing to count on your support while I take the time to follow a different path.
