Sargeant: People "expect less" from US F1 drivers
After a challenging start in his rookie season in F1, Logan Sargeant became the first American driver since 1993 to score points, finishing 10th in his home race in Austin. Despite facing struggles, he is hopeful that this season will provide him with more consistency. The lack of American drivers consistently at the front in F1 has led to prejudices about their prospects overall, but Sargeant believes that as long as the right people recognize his abilities, external opinions don’t matter. He acknowledges the obstacles Americans face in trying to make it in F1, such as having to move to Europe and the associated costs, which is why many prefer to race in American series like IndyCar and NASCAR. Despite this, Sargeant is optimistic that the number of American drivers in karting is increasing, and he hopes to see more of them make it to F1 in the future.
