After his abrupt Williams Formula 1 exit, Logan Sargeant will get back behind the wheel of a single-seater in IndyCar next month – but the team testing him can’t sign him
Following his unexpected departure from Williams Formula 1, Logan Sargeant will return to racing with IndyCar next month, testing with Meyer Shank Racing at the Thermal Club circuit in California on November 19. Despite unable to sign him at this time, team co-owner Mike Shank sees testing Sargeant, a high-level superlicence holder, as a valuable opportunity. The team views this test as a chance to assess Sargeant’s capabilities and potential for future collaborations, even if a full-time partnership may not be immediate. Shank’s team has a history of evaluating talented drivers, like their previous test with Nyck de Vries, showcasing their interest in discovering new prospects. Sargeant, who has primarily competed in European-based series, may find opportunities in sportscar racing, considering the limited availability of seats in IndyCar and Formula E. Despite facing challenges, such as the financial demands of teams and lack of oval track experience, Sargeant’s talent and connections in IndyCar suggest he could still have a successful career in the series.
