Vowles wants final Williams data check before Sargeant F1 2024 call
Logan Sargeant is the frontrunner for the final spot on the 2024 F1 grid with Williams, despite a mixed rookie season. Williams believes Sargeant needed time to prove himself, and he seems to have done enough to convince them with a season-best seventh place finish in the Las Vegas Grand Prix. However, Williams’ Head of Performance Engineering, Andrew Vowles, wants to thoroughly analyze Sargeant’s form before making a final decision on a new deal. Vowles wants to assess Sargeant’s progress, mistakes, growth, and overall performance over the course of the whole season. Although Williams does have other options available, the emphasis is on double-checking Sargeant’s performance before making a final decision.
