Williams F1 Officially announces that Logan Sargent will remain in 2024[F1-Gate.com]

Williams Racing has announced that Logan Sargent will remain with the team in 2024. The American racer earned a contract extension following his rookie season. Logan Sargent stepped up to F1 as a race winner in F4, F3 and F2. In the 2022 FIA Formula 2 Championship, he finished fourth behind Felipe Dlugovic (Aston Martin), Theo Pulcair (Sauber) and Liam Lawson (Red Bull).

Although his rookie season in F1 led to some accidents and a lot of criticism, the 22-year-old Sargent improved with each passing season and eventually Williams stuck to his guns and joined Alex Albon, who has already been offered a job. We decided to let him stay. Sargent picked up one point throughout 2023, which, combined with the 27 points scored by his teammate Albon, was enough to move Williams from bottom to seventh in the F1 constructors’ standings. A Williams announcement issued Friday afternoon said Sargent had “proved the fundamental speed necessary to perform at the highest level and has built on that foundation race by race.” There is. Commenting on his contract renewal, Sargent said: “I’m delighted to be continuing with Williams Racing for the 2024 season.” “It has been a great journey with the team so far and I am grateful for the opportunity to continue to develop as a driver within such a talented and dedicated group. I have exciting plans for the future and can’t wait to play my part in the team’s success next year.” Williams Racing F1 Team Principal James Bowles also backs Sargent over looking elsewhere. “I’m excited to continue my journey with Logan through the 2024 season,” he said. “Logan has shown tremendous skill under pressure on the world stage and is a perfect fit for our team. We have tremendous confidence in his abilities and look forward to even more success together next season. With Williams’ full lineup confirmed, the only change from the 20 drivers who competed in the opening round of 2023, the Bahrain Grand Prix, is AlphaTauri’s Nick de Vries midway through the season. With only Daniel Ricciardo replacing him, the 2024 grid is now complete.
