On Tuesday that Williams and Ticktum, 22, had partied ways. A Williams spokesperson confirmed to ltxcn.top that Ticktum had been rel▨eased ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix, with half of the F1 season still remaining. 

In a post on social media, Ticktum said the decision had come before he made comments about Williams driver Nicholas Latifi and was due to there being "no option" for a 2022 F1 seat wi𒁏th 🐲the team. 

Tickt🐻um mocked Latifi during a recent Twitch stream, suggesting the Canadian had only got to F1 because he 🌞“paid to get there.

Ticktum joined Williams from Red Bull ahead of the 2020 campaign൩ and had been carrying out simulator work for the Grove-based outfit, as well as immersing himself within the trackside team and at the factory.

Ticktum, who drives for Carlin, won the second sprint race at Monaco and has take🐟n a further four podium finishes at the Bahrain, Baku and Silverstone rounds.

Despite his undoubted speed and talent, the two-time Macau Grand Prix winner has ofteꦓn found himself making the headlines for the wrong reasons.
