Now that Alex Albon is being linked to Mercedes, Logan Sargeant is a driver with a huge weight on his shoulders ahead of the 2024 season. But have the new rumours removed some of the pressure from the 23-year-old?
The announcement of Lewis Hamilton moving to Ferrari in 2025 has sparked speculation and rumors in Formula 1’s silly season. One driver linked to Hamilton’s seat is Alex Albon, which takes attention away from his teammate, Logan Sargeant. Sargeant had a difficult rookie season, making on-track errors and facing doubts about his F1 career. He was consistently slower than Albon, who led the team to seventh place in the Constructors’ Championship. Sargeant had a mediocre season, with only one Q3 appearance and a single point scored, compared to Albon’s 27 points. However, Sargeant managed to retain his seat for this year, but he needs significant improvement to secure his future in F1. He acknowledges the pressure and external noise but focuses on doing his best and working with those who can make a difference in his career. Sargeant is currently viewed as one of the most at-risk drivers on the grid for 2025, especially since many drivers are also without a deal for next year, including his teammate Albon, who is now being considered for other teams.
