We want him to succeed, and we want him in the car next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;This is very much on us as well,&#8217; he continued. &#8216;We have taken someone straight from Formula 2 without any significant testing and put a day and a half in Bahrain in this car, and then wish them well on a season that has been awfully challenging for rookie drivers full stop.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/29\/14\/75977329-0-image-m-2_1695992772068.jpg\" height=\"414\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Logan Sargeant has struggled this season in F1, sitting 20th in the standings currently<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/29\/14\/75977369-0-image-a-6_1695992842334.jpg\" height=\"357\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>But Williams boss James Vowles has backed the young American amid a tough campaign<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/29\/14\/75977347-0-image-a-3_1695992780687.jpg\" height=\"431\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Sargeant crashed his car during qualifying in\u00a0Suzuka, Japan last weekend<\/p>\n<p>Sargeant is one of three rookies competing in F1 this season, alongside Alpha Tauri&#8217;s Nyck de Vries and McLaren&#8217;s Oscar Piastri.<\/p>\n<p>De Vries sits one spot below Sargeant at second-bottom while Piastri is in an impressive ninth place.<\/p>\n<p>Vowles said in the video that there were &#8216;very positive signs&#8217; to take out of Sargeant&#8217;s performance thus far, noting he nearly matched teammate\u00a0Alex Albon&#8217;s time in Suzuka before crashing in qualifying.<\/p>\n<p>Vowles also added that Sargeant is &#8216;not on the same aerodynamic specification&#8217; as Albon, blaming the difference in the cars to the &#8216;amount of attrition we&#8217;ve had this year.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;So the progress is there in certain forms, but very clearly being marred by a number of other issues and accidents that have appeared as well,&#8217; Vowles continued. &#8216;We will continue to work with Logan and invest in Logan as we want him to succeed as the result of the journey he&#8217;s on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He&#8217;s on a journey with us as Williams. We have a young driver program that we will continue to invest in. Only at the point where all of us come to the conclusion that we&#8217;ve reached the end of that road, we will make any decisions. But we&#8217;re nowhere near that yet.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The next F1 race is the Qatar Grand Prix on October 8.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/formulaone\/article-12575477\/American-F1-star-Logan-Sargeant-publicly-backed-Williams.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American F1 star Logan Sargeant is publicly backed by Williams amid huge uncertainty over his future as boss insists they DO want him in 2024&#8230; if he meets the targets they&#8217;ve set!
