Answer:
In the first step of SN1 mechanism a carbonation is formed which is planer and hence attack of nucleophile may occur from either side to give a racemic product but actually complete racemization doesn't take place. E.G. For example, the reaction below has a tertiary alkyl bromide as the electrophile, a weak nucleophile, and a polar protic solvent (we'll assume that methanol is the solvent).
