Mick Schumacher the “obvious contender” to return if Williams ditch Logan Sargeant

Rookie Sargeant has yet to score his first point in F1, 12 grands prix into his career, an꧃d he sits 11 points behind teammate Alex Albon.
His seat wil🅰l come under increasing pres𝕴sure unless he ups his game, according to ’s Lawrence Barretto.
“The Bri🍷tish team, who sit seventh in the staꦇndings, already have highly-rated Alex Albon tied up for 2024,” Barretto wrote in a piece for the .
“On the othꦉer side of the garage, rookie Logan Sargeant has ไhad a solid but unspectacular start to life in Formula 1, and knows he needs to up his game to stick around for another season.
“Williams have thrown their collective arm around the Americ෴an’s shoulders and tried to keep the pressure off h💎im in a bid to help him find a rhythm.

“They are backing him to succeed and earn a second campaign in blue – but he needs to not only find consistency but also close the gap to Albon, particularly in qualifying, and get himself on the🌊 scoreboard.
“If he doesn’t, his seat is under threat.
“Mick Schumacher would be an obvious contender, having briefly had talks with the team last year and having kept his hand in through his Mercedes reserve role, where he has earned public praise for his effort🍬s from [Lewis] Hamilton and [George] Russell.”
Schumacher was axed by Haas last season after public ꧒cr🍰iticism from team principal Guenther Steiner for the quantity of his crashes.
He couldn’t find another full-time seat so currently acts as third driver at Mercedes but Schumacher hopes to continue his famous family’s le❀gacy by earning a race seat in 2024.
