Logan Sargeant’s first points in Formula 1 were critical but they weren’t as important as an area that’s giving him “unimaginable” laptime gains
Logan Sargeant had a breakthrough in his Formula 1 career by utilizing the tools available to him in the cockpit to improve his lap times and performance in the race. He believes that focusing on the small adjustments, such as brake shape, brake bias, torque, and differential settings, can make a big difference in overall performance and tyre warm-up. Sargeant has been working closely with his teammate Alex Albon to understand and master these tools, and he has been surprised by the amount of time he can gain from them. The sprint format in Austin was beneficial for Sargeant, as it forced him to focus on using the tools and refining his driving style, rather than making major setup changes. Overall, Sargeant feels that he has made good progress throughout the year and is determined to retain his Williams seat for the 2024 season.
