P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Logan Sargeant has just completed his first IndyCar test with a Meyer Shank team that can’t field him in 2025. In fact, the ex-F1 driver has pretty slim pickings if he wants a place on the grid next year – ones that aren’t what Sargeant needs, Jack Benyon argues
While an IndyCar seat might suit Logan Sargeant, it could be beneficial for him not to be on the grid in 2025. After leaving Formula 1, speculation arose about Sargeant possibly transitioning to IndyCar, given his marketable American background and ties to Kyle Kirkwood. However, his name isn’t frequently linked to open seats, which may actually be a positive development for him. The available opportunities might not align with his needs, as evidenced by the potential challenges and limitations within teams like Dale Coyne and Juncos Hollinger. Sargeant’s confidence, stemming from losing his F1 seat, plays a significant role in his next career move, with sportscar racing and a reserve F1 position being alternative considerations for 2025. Despite his lack of IndyCar experience, his talent suggests he could have a successful career in the series, whether that be in 2025 or beyond.
