Sargeant leaves F1 with one point from 36 race starts since he joined Williams for the 2023 season.
Williams driver Logan Sargeant of the US posed for a picture when arriving for a press conference prior to the Formula One Dutch Grand Prix auto race, at the Zandvoort racetrack, Netherlands, Thursday, Aug. 22, 2024. GROVE, England — Logan Sargeant, the only American driver in Formula 1, was fired by Williams on Tuesday and will be replaced starting this weekend at the Italian Grand Prix by Argentinian driver Franco Colapinto.
Vowles acknowledged the decision would be “incredibly tough” on Sargeant, who was already due to be replaced for next season as Carlos Sainz Jr. moves from Ferrari to Williams to partner Alex Albon for 2025. There are nine races remaining this season, including two in the United States.Albon posted on social media.
The 21-year-old Colapinto, who is sixth in the F2 standings, becomes the first driver from Argentina to race in F1 since Gaston Mazzacane in 2001. That was a long wait for a country with a proud tradition in F1 as the home of Juan Manuel Fangio, a five-time champion in the 1950s. Sargeant arrived in F1 at the start of last year as the first U.S. driver in the series since 2015. He had placed fourth in F2 in 2022 butThe highlight of Sargeant’s time in F1 came on home soil at the United States Grand Prix last year, when he earned the only point of his career in 10th — but only after two cars above himfor technical infringements. That made Sargeant the first American driver to score a point in F1 since Michael Andretti 30 years before.
