Having decided that he did not want to switch to other racing categories in the short term, he has now revealed that he plans to do something completely different.
"Knowing that I wouldn't be behind the wheel of a race car this year, I had obviously begun to think of what could be next for me, whether that involved racing or something completely different. "With that in mind, and knowing I might be taking a break from racing, I decided that I want to pursue an MBA degree and focus on something that would transform the next phase of my life. An MBA was always something that I had contemplated doing post-racing life, even if that had been into my late 30s and early 40s.
While Latifi would have had plenty of options to return to competition, he felt that having lost his place in F1 meant that now was the perfect chance to pursue his other career interest. And while the MBA may take up his life for the next few years, he has not ruled out eventually getting back behind the wheel.
