Just like Nyck de Vries, fellow Formula 1 rookie Logan Sargeant is already under pressure to keep his race seat. Williams team boss James Vowles admitted recently that he had misgivings about Sargeant from the beginning, as he was appointed by his ousted predecessor Jost Capito. “But he has to start controlling things and delivering them cleanly,” Vowles added. But apart from making mistakes, Sargeant is also struggling for pace – having been outqualified by Albon on every single occasion so far this season. “I don’t expect him to be able to keep up with Alex’s pace,” Vowles said. According to Sport1, Vowles’ former boss at Mercedes – Toto Wolff – is believed to be pushing for Sargeant to be replaced at Williams by reserve Mick Schumacher.
