The 21-year-old American emerged as the prime candidate to replace 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nicholas Latifi at the team next season after 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nyck de Vries was signed by AlphaTauri to fill the seat vacated by Alpine-bound 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly. 

Sargeant, who is a member of the Williams Academy, has established himself as a frontrunner in his rookie F2 season and has claimed two feature race victories at S🦄ilverstone and the Red B🦋ull Ring. 

He now appears 🎉set to become the first American driver to race in F1 since Alexander Rossi’s five-race cameo with Manor in 2015. 

Williams chief Capito teased the prospect of Sargeant being announced as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon’s teammate for next season during this weekend’s168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: United States Grand Prix. 

During a fan Q&A on Friday🧸, Capito was asked when he thinks an American💮 driver could next be seen on the F1 grid.

He responded: “Follow the news and you might see someth๊ing on Saturday.”&💃nbsp;

Given the location of this weekend’s race, such an ann♔ounc🅠ement would be an ideal marketing opportunity, one day after Sargeant made his practice debut with Williams. 

However, Sargeant has not yet secured the FIA super licence points he requires🉐 in✅ order to race in F1 next year.

Sargeant - who sits third in the F2 standings - currently needs a top-five finis🌠🧜h in the championship by the end of next month’s season finale in Abu Dhabi to guarantee a superlicence. 

Because he com♏pleted over 100km of running in his FP1 appearance at COTA, Sargeant earned one more superlicence point, moving him onto 28 of the required 40.&n👍bsp;

Providing he has a clean final round, Sargeant 🍰would also pick up two more superlicence points for not being hit with any penalty points in 2022. 𝓡;

In t♚hat scenario, a top-six finish in the F2 championship would be enough for Sa🔯rgeant.
