Sargeant's vroege carrière

Sargeant initiated his racing career in 2008 in karting, showcasing immediate talent. The American swiftly transitioned to Europe to participate in European championships, securing several titles, including the KF Junior class in 2015.

In the 2016-2017 season, Sargeant made the leap to single-seaters in Formula 4. Starting in the United Arab Emirates Formula 4 Championship, he continued in the British Formula 4 Championship, finishing third in the standings behind Oscar Piastri.

In 2018, Sargeant competed as a full-time driver in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, finishing fourth in the overall standings. In 2019, the American moved up to Formula 3, making his debut with the Carlin team, where he faced competitors like Yuki Tsunoda. It proved to be a challenging season, with Sargeant finishing nineteenth in the championship.

Undeterred, he persevered and, in 2020, joined the successful Prema Racing team. This season marked significant improvement, with Sargeant securing podium placements six times and finishing third in the championship, won by Oscar Piastri.

The following year brought uncertainty about his seat, but just before the season commenced, it was confirmed that he would compete in F3 for the third consecutive year. At the end of 2021, he debuted in Formula 2 for the last two race weekends of the season, followed by his full-time debut in F2 in 2022. He ultimately secured fourth place in the championship standings.

Sargeant maakt zijn Formule 1-debuut

Bovendien spendeerde Sargeant aanzienlijk veel tijd in 2022 achter het stuur van de F1-wagen van Williams. Het team zocht naar een vervanger voor Nicholas Latifi, die teleurstellend presteerde. Aangezien Sargeant nog niet voldoende superlicentiepunten had, nam hij deel aan verschillende trainingssessies voor Williams om zo de benodigde licentiepunten te vergaren.

Nadat Sargeant eenmaal genoeg punten op zijn superlicentie had verzameld, werd officieel bevestigd dat de Amerikaan in 2023 voor het F1-team van Williams zou gaan rijden, met het racenummer 2. Zijn teamgenoot is Alexander Albon.

Eerste punten in F1 | Logan Sargeant

Na een spectaculaire race in Austin slaagde de Amerikaan erin zijn eerste punt te scoren in de Formule 1. Hij eindigde als twaalfde in de GP van de Verenigde Staten. Echter werden Charles Leclerc en Lewis Hamilton gediskwalificeerd vanwege te versleten 'skid blocks'. Hierdoor schoof de Amerikaan op naar de tiende plaats en behaalde hij zijn eerste punt in zijn thuisrace.

Dit was het enige punt dat Sargeant scoorde in het seizoen 2023. Dankzij de 27 punten van zijn teamgenoot Alexander Albon kon het team als zevende eindigen in het constructeurskampioenschap.
