Former F1 team owner Eddie Jordan believes Williams cannot afford to rely on one driver performing and thinks Logan Sargeant would be lucky to retain his seat.
Sargeant had a difficult rookie season in F1, struggling to match the performances of his teammate Alex Albon and making costly mistakes leading to crashes. However, he showed improvement towards the end of the season and scored his first point at the Austin race. The decision on whether Sargeant will remain on the F1 2024 grid is still pending, with Williams expected to make a final decision soon based on his progress. David Coulthard, a former F1 driver, referred to Sargeant as the biggest underperformer of the 2023 season, highlighting his struggles in comparison to Albon’s lap times. In response, Eddie Jordan, another former team owner, stated that Sargeant wouldn’t be in his team due to the need for high-quality drivers and a strong teammate.
