In a recent development, Logan Sargeant finally overcame the dramatic challenge and acquired his Formula 1 superlicence. The F2 driver who’s supposed to replace outgoing Nicholas Latifi in the 2023 F1 season, has finally achieved the license to race in F1. With this, the Williams F1 team now has their driver lineup complete with Alex Albon and Logan Sargeant. However, the fans are divided over the 21-year-old’s inclusion.

Sargeant acquired his superlicence after he finished the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in P5. The F2 race at the Yas Marina Circuit saw Ayumu Iwasa take the win while Sargeant’s teammate at Carlin Liam Lawson took P3. Despite this, the American’s P5 was enough to give him the driver’s position on the British F1 team.
Williams F1 team decided to part ways with Nicholas Latifi after three forgettable seasons. The Canadian managed to pick up just 9 points after 61 starts with the team. The announcement came in October as the team decided to give Sargeant a chance to race alongside Albon.
Fans react as Logan Sargeant is all set to Williams next year
Logan Sargeant has been an academy driver for the British team already. The F2 driver joined Williams as the academy driver in 2021 and has recently completed the FP1 for the team during the 2022 United States Grand Prix in Texas. As he is all set to join as an F1 driver, fans on the internet share their reactions.

It’s not certain if the Williams F1 team took Logan Sargeant in due to his nationality, as the United States is the next big market for F1. Nevertheless, having an American on the team will surely boost the Grove-based team’s popularity in the North American country.
