The United States’ sole Formula 1 driver, Logan Sargeant, was dropped by Williams in favor of Formula 2 racer Franco Colapinto due to a costly crash in FP3 at Zandvoort. Team principal James Vowles had set high expectations for Sargeant to perform at Alex Albon’s level and avoid crashing. Despite flashes of potential, Sargeant’s lack of points this season led Williams to take a chance on Colapinto for the remainder of the year. Colapinto, despite not being the expected choice, has impressed the team and now has an opportunity to showcase his skills without the pressure of auditioning for a permanent race seat. With a solid racing record and previous experience in current machinery, Colapinto aims to make the most of this opportunity to prove himself in Formula 1.
