Logan Sargeant’s axing from Williams is the subject of the latest RN365 poll.
In the middle of the 2024 season, Williams team principal, James Vowles, decided to replace Logan Sargeant with Franco Colapinto due to Sargeant’s underwhelming performances. Colapinto made history by becoming the first Argentine driver to compete in Formula 1 since 2001, debuting at the Italian Grand Prix and racing in nine subsequent events until Carlos Sainz Jr. takes over in 2025. Despite a scary moment in qualifying where he touched the gravel, Colapinto demonstrated impressive car control and qualified 18th, eventually finishing 12th after executing a successful one-stop strategy. The decision to bring in Colapinto over talents like Liam Lawson and Andrea Kimi Antonelli raises the question of whether Vowles made the right call – we invite you to share your thoughts by participating in the poll and leaving comments below!
