Logan Sargeant still in dark over F1 future as Williams deadline looms
The American has endured a difficult up-and-down rookie season that has been overshadowed by several costly crashes, while he has struggled to match the points-scoring heroics of teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon.
However, Sargeant finally scored his maiden F1 points at his home race at the United States Grand Prix ☂in Austin.
The 22-year-🌜old hopes his improveꩲd performances across recent races have strengthened his chances of holding onto his seat for a sophomore campaign.
Williams team principal James Vowles said in October that his team were prepared to give Sargeant until the end of the year to show he deserves to re♏tain his position alongside Albon, meaning this weekend’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will be his last chance to impress.
When asked in Thursday🌳’s press conference in Yas Marina if he was confident of holding onto his seat for 2024, S༺argeant replied: "It's a good question – honestly, I don't know.
"But for me it's just a case of taking it race by race. I feel like, from a driving point of view, everything has been getting much better in the past I don't know however many r꧟ounds.
"I'm just trying to do my job to the bes💜t I can. And I think wit🌌h how it's been going recently, I don't see any issues.”
He added: “The biggest thing for me is appreciating the level of effort that needs to go into🉐 it to be able to perform at such a level every 🐓single day.
“You can get away on a semi-average d♛ay in junior formulas, yo🍰u’re still right at the front, whereas here it’s not the case.
“It’s about consꦓtantly trying to be able to perform at that level, day in and day out, and I think that’s been the biggest thing.”
Sargeant qualified a superb sixth on the gri🍃d last time out in Las Vegas and despite ultimately slipping to P16 by the end of the race, he feels it was his highlight of the season.
“I think to be able to finally put it together over three qualifying sessions was really nice, helped by the fact we had a quick car in Vegas, for sure,” he explained. “But yeah, that was def♎initely my highli𒅌ght.”
