Logan Sargeant

Logan Hunter Sargeant (born December 31, 2000) is an American racing driver who competes in Formula One for Williams Racing.

He previously competed in the 2022 FIA Formula 2 Championship driving for Carlin Motorsport, finishing fourth overall in the standings.

He is the younger brother of former NASCAR driver Dalton Sargeant.

Sargeant began his motorsport career in karting in 2008.

In his first year, he competed in the Rotax Micro Max class in regional and national championships, finishing third in the Florida Winter Tour and the Rotax Max Challenge USA.

Sargeant later moved to Europe, where he competed in the ROK Cup International Final, Trofeo Delle Industrie, and WSK Euro Series.

He placed 10th in qualifying, ahead of teammates Drugovich and Dan Ticktum.

In the qualification race, he was involved in an opening-lap crash with Arjun Maini that eliminated Maini, Jake Hughes and Enaam Ahmed from the race.

Sargeant himself avoided damage and went on to finish sixth.

He finished the main race on the podium in third, behind Jüri Vips and race winner Richard Verschoor.

In 2015, Sargeant won the CIK-FIA World KFJ Championship, becoming the first American to win an FIA Karting World Championship title since Lake Speed in 1978.

Sargeant secured his first senior karting title in the 2016 WSK Champions Cup, where he competed in the OK class.

In the winter of 2016-17, Sargeant made his single-seater car racing debut in the Formula 4 UAE Championship with Team Motopark.

Although he did not win any races, he was on the podium in 15 of the 18 official races and finished second in the standings behind teammate Jonathan Aberdein.

In 2017, Sargeant joined Carlin to compete in the F4 British Championship.

He achieved 10 podium finishes in 30 races, including two race wins at Rockingham and Silverstone, and finished third in the standings behind Oscar Piastri and teammate and dominant champion Jamie Caroline.

In 2018, Sargeant made the full-time switch to the Formula Renault Eurocup with R-ace GP.

He won the season-opening race at Circuit Paul Ricard and later added victories at the Nürburgring and the season finale at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

With 218 points, Sargeant finished fourth in the championship behind Yifei Ye, Christian Lundgaard and teammate and champion Max Fewtrell, and ahead of teammates Victor Martins and Charles Milesi.

Sargeant was the second-highest placed rookie that season, behind Lundgaard.

Sargeant returned to Carlin to contest the 2019 FIA Formula 3 Championship, joining Teppei Natori and future Formula 2 rival Felipe Drugovich at the team.

Sargeant scored points on four occasions, with top finishes of eighth place at Circuit Paul Ricard and the Hungaroring.

He ended the season 19th in the championship with five points; Drugovich and Natori scored eight and one points respectively.

At the end of 2019 Sargeant competed in the Macau Grand Prix.

For the 2020 season, Sargeant switched to reigning Teams' Champions Prema Racing, partnering Frederik Vesti and former British F4 rival Oscar Piastri.

He took two podium finishes at the Red Bull Ring and another podium from pole position in the first Silverstone feature race.

He scored his first FIA F3 victory in the second feature race at Silverstone, again from pole position, which promoted him into the lead of the championship.

He claimed a third consecutive pole at Barcelona-Catalunya and finished third in the feature race, retaining the championship lead after round six of nine.

Sargeant's next win came in the next round at Spa-Francorchamps, where he won the sprint race and extended his points advantage over Piastri.

However, collisions with Clément Novalak and teammate Vesti at Monza Circuit left him with no points in either race and a grid penalty for the final round.

Sixth place in the Mugello feature race left him tied with Piastri on 160 points going into the final race, but contact with Lirim Zendeli on the opening lap eliminated him from contention as Piastri went on to claim the title.

Championship outsider Théo Pourchaire finished on the podium, leaving Sargeant third in the standings, one point behind Pourchaire and four behind Piastri.

In February 2021 Sargeant ruled out a move to the FIA Formula 2 Championship despite performing a test with Campos Racing, citing financial reasons, and stated his interest in pursuing options in sports car racing or Indy Lights.

In April, he took part in a pre-season F3 test with Charouz Racing System, who had finished last in the Teams' Championship the previous year.

This was followed by an announcement of his return to the championship for 2021 with Charouz shortly before the first race of the season.

Sargeant scored points in three of the first four races and finished third in the first race at the Red Bull Ring, but lost the podium position post-race due to a penalty for track limit violations.

His first podium of the season, and the first ever podium in the series for Charouz, came in the first race at the Hungaroring.

More podiums came at Spa-Francorchamps and at Zandvoort.

He took his only win of the season at Sochi Autodrom, thus giving Charouz their first victory in Formula 3.

Sargeant finished the campaign seventh in the Drivers' Championship, scoring 102 of the team's 127 points.
