Logan Sargeant was a promising talent before his debut in Formula 1, with a good showing in the 2022 F2 season, his rookie campaign. Sargeant impressed Williams enough for them to give him a seat to drive in for 2023 alongside Alexander Albon.

However, disappointment ensued as Sargeant was unable to materialize any good results bar a points finish at his home race. Sargeant has attributed his lack of performance to the gap between the junior series F2 and F1, citing the complexity of the car.

There are just so many more fine details in F1, and there's just so many more things that add into performance than just getting in the car and driving like you do in F2.

Sargeant said, as reported by motorsport.com

Sargeant has improved slightly, with an upturn in results in the second half of the season. Williams team principal James Vowles has also expressed confidence in Sargeant, keeping him on for 2024.

Logan Sargeant recognizes consistency as an essential trait for Formula 1

Logan Sargeant was unable to produce any great results for the Williams team in 2023. However, with a seventh-place finish in the Constructors’ helped by Sargeant’s top-10 finish in the United States, 2023 served as a learning year for the young American.

Sargeant had some major takeaways from the 2023 F1 season, competing alongside the best in the world. The 23-year-old said one of the most important skills to keep competing in F1 is to keep consistent, performing at a high level incessantly, as Formula One can be a punishing sport as opposed to junior formulas.

I think 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 with a semi-average day in junior formulas and you're still right at the front. Whereas here, that's not the case.

Sargeant did make some noise in 2023, with his nationality playing a big part. The Williams driver is the first American to drive on the grid since 2015 when Alexander Rossi took part. Sargeant is also the first American to score points in F1 since Michael Andretti in 1993. Andretti is coincidentally also back in F1, attempting to enter Andretti Autosport onto the grid ahead of 2026.
