Williams wants final data check before Sargeant F1 2024 decision
Sergeant is the favorite to secure the final spot on the 2024 F1 grid with Williams, despite some ups and downs in his rookie campaign. Williams believes that Sergeant needed time to prove himself and will give him until the end of the season to do so. Sergeant’s recent performance, including a season-best seventh place on the grid, seems to have convinced Williams to stick with him. However, Williams’ performance strategist, Vowles, wants to thoroughly analyze Sergeant’s entire season before committing to a new deal. Vowles wants to assess the progress, mistakes, outliers, and growth to ensure they are making the right decision for the team and Sergeant’s future. While Williams does have other options, Vowles emphasizes that their focus is on double-checking Sergeant’s performance. Sergeant, on the other hand, is not worried about the contract situation and believes that things have been going in the right direction.
