Logan Sargeant last year became the first American driver on the grid since Alexander Rossi in 2015. He finished last season ranked 21st in the final driver standings with one point, behind Red Bull reserve driver Liam Lawson and a late-coming Ricciardo. Sargeant earned that point with a career-best 10th-place finish in October’s U.S. Grand Prix — after a pair of disqualifications elevated him from 12th place.
Sargeant made strides in his rookie season and his team, Williams Racing, said he “demonstrated the fundamental speed required to perform at the highest level.” Still, he struggled through several crashes and early retirements.
Sargeant’s teammate, Alex Albon, finished 13th with 27 points last year, lifting Williams from 10th to seventh in the constructors’ standings. Ahead of this season, Sargeant said he wants to learn from his mistakes.
“Some highs, more lows than I would have liked, but you have to take the good with the bad, learn from the mistakes, and I feel like I’ve been able to really reflect on myself and how I can be better for this year, so I’m, after a good break, motivated to get back to it,” he said.
