Sargeant: I still don’t know if I’ve done enough to secure 2024 Williams F1 seat
American driver Logan Sargeant has had a challenging rookie season in Formula 1, with several crashes and a tough competition against his teammate Alex Albon. The only remaining open slot in the Williams team for the 2024 season is alongside Albon, and the team plans to wait until the current season is over before deciding on Sargeant’s future. Sargeant, who was promoted to F1 in 2023 after being a Williams junior driver in Formula 2, has been given targets by Williams for the remaining races of this season, focusing on consistent performance and managing risk. He achieved his first F1 point by finishing 10th in the final classification in Austin, but struggled with tire graining and finished 16th in Las Vegas. When asked about his chances of being retained for 2024, Sargeant expressed uncertainty and emphasized taking it race by race. He considers his qualifying result in Vegas as the highlight of his rookie season, where he was able to put together three strong sessions and showcased a quick car.
