P1racenews AI automatic summary:
The American driver qualified 20th and last in his home Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas.
Logan Sargeant expressed surprise at a tough qualifying session for the United States Grand Prix, where he felt his Williams car was completely “upside down” compared to practice. He qualified 20th, the slowest of all drivers, almost half a second behind his teammate Alexander Albon, who also failed to advance from Q1. This season, Sargeant is the only driver on the grid who has yet to out-qualify his teammate, with Albon now leading 18-0. Sargeant is under significant pressure to perform well and secure his position for the 2024 season after a mixed rookie campaign. While the practice session showed promise, qualifying didn’t go as planned, with the car’s balance being unpredictable and causing issues with front locking. Sargeant hopes to have a better performance in the Sprint race and acknowledged that the Circuit of the Americas is an amazing track.
