Vowles wants Sargeant to stay with Williams
Having lost his racing seat at Williams, Logan Sargeant might stay with the British outfit according to the Grove-based outfit’s team boss James Vowles.
After Williams elected to sign Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz to team up with Alexander Albon for 2025, the team’s American driver Logan Sargeant's F1 career is set to end after the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi.
The Miami-born driver has struggled in his two years in F1, often overshadowed by teammate Alex Albon, who has outperformed him consistently.
Despite talks that he might be replaced by Mercedes junior driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli after the summer break, Williams team boss James Vowles has confirmed that Sargeant will see out the season.
"I want him to see out the season. I want him, he's a Williams Academy driver, he will remain a Williams Academy driver. As long as he earns it, he has a seat, and he has to earn it."
"The blunt truth behind it, which I provided him is that he really did move forward at Silverstone and Budapest. But in Spa, we weren't there, and we have to understand together why."
"Many will take objection at this level of what I call brutal honesty on things. But I much rather that he is given every opportunity but knows where he has to improve rather than a decision gets made from one day to the next without any influence from his side,' Vowles concluded.
