P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Logan Sargeant has been ousted from the Williams team ahead of the Italian Grand Prix and replaced by rookie Franco Colapinto.
Oscar Piastri has commented that it is a bold move by Williams to replace Logan Sargeant with Franco Colapinto for the remaining races of the F1 season. The change happened just before the Italian Grand Prix, where Colapinto made his F1 debut at Monza. Sargeant had a tough time at Williams and was rumored to be leaving after a crash at Zandvoort. Piastri believes Sargeant had more potential than what was seen in F1, based on their time racing together in previous categories. Colapinto, coming from Formula 2, was a surprise choice for the seat, with Mick Schumacher and Liam Lawson initially linked to it. Piastri sees the decision to give Colapinto a chance as a bold move by Williams, and expresses confidence in Sargeant’s abilities despite his challenges in F1.
