The video starts with Latifi appreciating the fan, “Dude you’re awesome” and then the man [the fan] speaks up to say, “I’ll always be rooting for you,” and to which Latifi again replied, “Thank you, Appreciate it.” Following this, the fan of the Canadian driver started sharing his story, “I’ve been a Latifi fan since he ever came to F1.”
“I think his attitude is best on the grid. He’s just like the nicest guy and he never gives up. That’s really important for people to get and I said ‘hey, if he gets point, I’m getting a tattoo. I made that promise to him and I kept it,” conveyed the biggest fan of Nicholas Latifi.
