Logan Hunter Sargeant is an American racing driver who currently participates in the Formula One championship as a member of the Williams Racing team. In the 2022 FIA Formula 2 Championship, he participated as a driver for Carlin Motorsport. He performed well and secured a fourth-place finish in the overall standings.
Logan Sargeant feels that he has what it takes to secure another agreement with Williams for the 2024 campaign, and he has said that he will be focusing on “cutting out mistakes” and “cleaning up” his weekends over the course of the final seven Grands Prix.

Sargeant, who moved up from F2 at the beginning of the year, is the only full-time driver who has not yet scored a point, with more seasoned teammate Alex Albon earning all 21 points for Williams so far this season.
Although the American rookie’s raw pace in comparison to Albon was encouraging, he realized that mistakes like his off at the Singapore Grand Prix in his most recent race can’t keep happening if he wants to remain in the sport.
Whenever Sargeant was pressed about whether he understood what it takes to maintain his position at Williams, he said: “Yeah, I know what I need to do. It starts with cutting out those mistakes and delivering clean weekends.
“From a pace standpoint, I feel like I’m pretty close to where I need to be, [I need to] just clean it up, start delivering when I need to and it should be all good.”
When asked how much he has been beating himself up about his loss in Singapore, he said: “It’s not ideal, of course. I think I did a good job of compartmentalising that in the race.
“I got straight back out there, my next two stints were solid, considering I had some damage to the car, so I was quite proud how I was able to completely forget about it within a lap and get back to it.
“I was happy with how the back half of the race went, I never gave up and I’ll carry that into this weekend, keep believing and just try and be better this weekend.”
On a different note, Sargeant will be taking his first runs around the famous Suzuka circuit during Friday practice. He is excited to get out on the track and enjoy the experience.
“It’s awesome,” he commented. “I walked the track this morning, I’ve done a lot of laps on the simulator… When you see it in person you really appreciate it.
“It’s probably one of the most special track walks I’ve done this year. I think everyone’s expressed how amazing it is to drive here and I’m just excited to experience that for myself.”
