Logan Sargeant is set to make his Formula One debut for Williams F1 team in 2023
Logan Sargeant is set to become the first American racer in F1 since Alexander Rossi in 2015. Sargeant will be seen in action for the Williams F1 team next year, replacing Nicholas Latifi. Sargeant drove for Williams in FP1 at the US Grand Prix and has now been officially confirmed as their second F1 driver in 2023.
In a video shared by Sky Sports F1, Logan is seen speaking about his plans for the new season and the responsibilities that he will carry as the only American driver on the grid. “Obviously it’s super special to be the first American driver in a while. With three GPs next season (in the US), it’s going to be fun. Miami is just at my doorstep, so I’m really looking forward to that one. The expectations are high, we just need to get the job done”, he said.
Logan is a part of the Williams Driver Academy and competed in Formula 2 with Carlin last season. Sargeant finished fourth in the 2022 F2 championship and earned the much-needed FIA superlicence. His breakthrough season came this year after he was roped in by Carlin alongside Liam Lawson. At the feature race of the British Grand Prix, he became the first American driver to win a Formula 2 race. Sargeant won the feature race at the F2 Austrian GP the very next week.
