Gap between F2 and F1 is ”too big” says Sargeant
The American driver, Logan Sargeant, is entering his second season with Williams in Formula 1 after moving up from Formula 2. He believes that while F2 prepared him to some extent, there were many aspects that proved challenging to adapt to in F1. The transition to a new car for the 2024 season in F2 aims to bring the series closer to F1’s current ground effects cars. Sargeant highlights the complexity of F1 cars, with numerous control elements critical to performance, unlike in F2 where driving is more straightforward. He faced difficulties in his rookie season, including crashes and struggles to match his teammate’s performance. However, his standout moment was scoring a point at the United States Grand Prix, becoming the first American to do so since 1993. While being part of F1 history was nice, Sargeant focuses more on delivering consistent and clean weekends.
