Logan Sargeant will not be driving for the Williams team at Monza or the other remaining F1 2024 rounds, with rookie Franco Colapinto named as his interim replacement.
Williams has replaced Logan Sargeant with Franco Colapinto for the remainder of the Formula 1 season, following Sargeant’s crash in final practice at the Dutch Grand Prix. Colapinto will start driving for Williams at the Italian GP this weekend, as Sargeant had already lost his drive for 2025 with Carlos Sainz coming in. Williams expressed gratitude to Sargeant for his hard work and contribution since his debut in 2023, stating he would remain in the Williams family. Team principal James Vowles emphasized the importance of maximizing points-scoring opportunities in a tight midfield battle, leading to the decision to bring in Colapinto. Despite the tough situation for Sargeant, Williams will support him in continuing his racing career while giving Colapinto the chance to showcase his skills for the remaining nine rounds of the season.
