Logan Sargeant’s F1 Future in Jeopardy Amid Crash-Filled Race

The Canadian Grand Prix proved to be a treacherous race, with a quarter of the grid failing to reach the chequered flag.



While some retirements were due to bad luck, such as Alex Albon and Charles Leclerc’s incidents, others resulted from critical driver errors that impacted the entire event.



Sergio Perez faced penalties for driving back to the pit lane with a severely damaged rear wing after spinning into the barriers, capping off a miserable weekend for him.



Similarly, Carlos Sainz’s late-race spin not only ended his own race but also took out Alex Albon, which could create tension if they end up as teammates at Williams next year.

Logan Sargeant was the final retiree, spinning into turn six and causing terminal damage by hitting the barriers in turn four.



On The Fast and The Curious Podcast, David Croft discussed Sargeant’s diminishing chances of staying in Formula 1.



His performance in Canada further reduced his already slim chances of securing a new contract for 2025 and beyond.



Williams team principal James Vowles had taken a gamble on Sargeant, telling him he needed to be the season’s surprise, but it’s no surprise he was the 20th driver rewarded with a new deal last year.



Sargeant has shown flashes of talent, but not everything has gone his way this year.



He had to give up his chassis to Albon in Australia, forcing his withdrawal from the race.



Additionally, Albon has been preferred for upgrades, partly due to Sargeant’s own performance issues.



Williams has lagged behind rivals in car development, exacerbated by crashes that create more work for the factory team.



David Croft believes Sargeant hasn’t done enough to earn a new F1 contract. Despite reaching Q2 on Saturday, individual mistakes cost him the chance to add to his sole career point.



Croft said, “Nothing he [Alex Albon] can do about that, Logan [Sargeant] I’m sure he could have done a bit more to stop himself spinning out.”



With Carlos Sainz being a prime target for Williams, Sargeant’s future looks uncertain.



His management has been in talks with Haas, but he doesn’t seem to be a top candidate for their seats.

Vowles expressed his desperation to sign Sainz, emphasizing the need for two world-class drivers to compete next season.



Looking ahead, it remains to be seen whether Sargeant will finish the campaign with Williams and what his next move will be.



Mercedes might seize the opportunity to place Kimi Antonelli in his seat once he turns 18, while Williams has several promising young drivers, including Monaco F2 winner Zak O’Sullivan.
