Sargeant is yet to score any points, sharing the zero-point tally with fellow rookie Nyck de Vries. Williams team boss James Vowles is eager to see more consistency from Sargeant, emphasizing the importance of clean and controlled driving. Vowles acknowledged Sargeant’s speed and potential, pointing out that he has already reached Q2 in both qualifying sessions in Baku. He believes that consistency is key and that Sargeant needs to capitalize on Q2 to gain more experience.
While Vowles does not expect Sargeant to match Albon’s pace immediately, he anticipates gradual improvement from the young American driver. Acknowledging Sargeant’s limited experience at several circuits, Vowles noted that even in disappointing races like Miami, there was a slim margin of three-tenths of a second separating Sargeant from Albon. This closeness in performance highlights the potential for Sargeant to bridge the gap with more experience and development.
