As a Le Mans class winner, Richard Bradley provides a candid assessment of Logan Sargeant’s performance in Formula 1. While acknowledging Sargeant’s improvement, Bradley expresses doubts about his ability to secure a long-term place in the sport.
Sargeant, who hails from the United States, generated significant interest when he joined the Formula 1 grid with Williams, becoming the first American driver in the series since Alexander Rossi in 2015. However, his performance alongside teammate Alex Albon has been less than stellar.
So far, Sargeant has struggled in both qualifying and race trim, failing to outperform Albon in qualifying and failing to score any points while Albon has collected 11. Despite these challenges, Sargeant believes he is making progress toward reaching his desired level of performance.
Bradley agrees with Sargeant’s self-assessment of improvement but remains skeptical about his future prospects in Formula 1. The strong competition in the sport, along with the impressive form of drivers like Albon, poses a significant challenge for Sargeant.
While acknowledging Sargeant’s talent, Bradley emphasizes that Formula 1 is highly competitive, with all drivers on the grid having achieved success at various levels of their careers. He credits Albon’s exceptional performance and racing skills as another factor working against Sargeant.
With 10 rounds remaining in the 2023 Formula 1 season, Sargeant has opportunities to prove himself and secure a place in Williams for another campaign. However, he faces stiff competition and high expectations in a demanding sport.
