Former F1 driver Logan Sargeant revealed his new racing role at the Red Bull season launch event in Detroit last night, following his stint in F1 for the 2023 season.
Despite scoring only one point in 36 grands prix weekends and not being linked with an F1 return since, Sargeant has been competing in the IMSA Sportscar Championship and is set to continue in 2026.
At the Ford season launch event, Sargeant disclosed his role with Ford Racing, becoming a factory driver alongside F1 star Daniel Ricciardo.
