Former Williams Formula 1 driver Logan Sargeant is stepping away from the sport, as announced by the team he was set to compete with in the European Le Mans Series. Sargeant was preparing to race in the 2025 ELMS season driving the #18 Oreca 07 car supported by Genesis Magma Racing, after being dropped by Williams mid-season. The decision to give Sargeant the opportunity came from Hyundai Motorsport’s president, Cyril Abiteboul, through Genesis as Hyundai’s luxury brand. Despite testing the car and a promising future with Genesis’ Hypercar programme, Sargeant surprised everyone by withdrawing from ELMS participation and stepping away from the potential promising future with the manufacturer. IDEC Sport and Genesis Magma Racing will be announcing Sargeant’s substitute in the coming days, but there has been no official statement from Sargeant himself regarding his decision and the future of his motorsport career.
