Logan Sargeant’s long-term future is in doubt at Williams, with Andrea Kimi Antonelli touted as a replacement.
Williams team boss James Vowles has advised Logan Sargeant to “earn your place” in Formula 1, amid rising speculations about Andrea Kimi Antonelli. Sargeant, now in his second F1 season, is struggling to match the performance of his teammate, Alex Albon, as Williams is one of the two teams yet to score any points after six rounds. Reports suggest that Mercedes protege Antonelli might replace Sargeant mid-season, although a hurdle is that he doesn’t meet the FIA superlicence requirements due to his age and license. Vowles remains firm that Sargeant will continue but emphasized the need for him to excel and retain his seat on the grid. While Sargeant faces a tough challenge against Albon, Vowles is focused on supporting him to progress and compete at a higher level.
