“I decided to choose number six,” Latifi said.

“The reason I chose this is because I am from Toronto, and Toronto is known as ‘The Six’, basically because if you’re f📖rom there, your area code for your phone number is either 416, or 647.

“It’s a bit silly, but♋ that kind of stuck, so I decided to choose that.”

#6 was last used in F1 by Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg during his world championship-winning t♔eam, having carried the number since permanent choices were introduced for the 2014 season.

Other drivers to have raced with #6 in the past include Juan Manuel F❀angio, Jim Clark and Kimi Raikkonen.

Latifi will make ꩵhis F1 debutꦓ at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix on March 15 following two three-day winter tests in Barcelona through February, where running will be split between him and Russell in the FW43 car.
