Logan Sargeant to participate in two more FP sessions

American set for more runs in Mexico and Abu Dhabi

American racer Logan Sargeant is all set for more FP1 session runs after Williams Racing announced that the American will take part in the Mexican and Abu Dhabi FP1 sessions.

Sargeant will also take part in the Young Driver Test at the end of the year in Abu Dhabi and will fill in for Alex Albon at the Mexican FP1 session and Nicholas Latifi at the Abu Dhabi FP1 session. Sargeant made his FP1 debut at the United States Grand Prix, and Williams team boss Jost Capito also announced that the American will partner Alex Albon in 2023, provided he gets the Super Licence points needed to make it to Formula One.

Logan Sargeant, commented,

“I’d like to start by saying thank you again to Williams Racing and Dorilton Motor Sports for giving me the opportunity to drive on home turf yesterday here at COTA. It was one of the most enjoyable moments of my career so far. I’m very grateful to be given further time in the FW44 in Mexico and Abu Dhabi.

‘My aim is to make the most of every minute in the car and with the team to build on the progress I’ve made in Austin and throughout my time on the simulator at Grove. Of course, my focus is on finishing my Formula 2 season in Abu Dhabi in the best position possible, and I’m sure my time in the FW44 will keep me sharp and ready for the F2 finale.”

Sven Smeets, Sporting Director, Williams Racing, said,

“Logan showed a high level of understanding during his FP1 debut in Austin and provided useful feedback to help in the team’s preparations for the rest of the weekend. We are providing Logan further opportunities in Mexico and Abu Dhabi to integrate himself with the team trackside in both Free Practice sessions and the Young Driver Test as we work hard to support Logan in his efforts towards earning the FIA Super Licence.

‘It’s great that as a team we can provide invaluable time for Logan to get behind the wheel of the FW44 to continue his development as a Williams Academy Driver and harness his talents. We’re looking forward to seeing how Logan progresses this season and finishes out his last race of the season in Formula 2.”
