Logan Sargeant: Is His Billionaire Family Connected to US Presidential Candidate Donald Trump?

Logan Sargeant is currently the only American driver on the grid and as we head towards the Miami Grand Prix, it’s only fair we talk about him for a moment. As we approach his home Grand Prix, all the teams are preparing to head towards US soil. Sargeant will get to meet his family and we can expect them down at the paddocks, so let’s take a look at his family, shall we?

Logan Sargeant is the child of Daniel and Madelyn Sargeant, and he also has a brother who is a former NASCAR driver. He comes from money and that’s obvious, considering his family has ties that go up to working with the former US President, Donald Trump.

Who is Logan Sargeant?

Young, Talented, and Charming could be three words to describe the Florida-born driver. We are talking about Logan Sargeant, of course! Driving for Williams next to Alex Albon, he is the newest driver on the grid. This season is going pretty slow for him, as he is the last driver on the pecking order.

He is still fresh in his F1 career, with this being the second year he’s been behind the wheel of the fastest single-seater. Last year, he was able to score a point at the Texas Grand Prix, and this year, he has a chance to race in his backyard track in Miami. Being born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, he was always just a few hours away from Miami and that said; he has a personal connection with the track. Like with almost every F1 racer, Sargeant started with Karting, slowly progressing along the Formulas to reach Williams in 2023.

Meet Logan Sargeant’s Billionaire Family 

Daniel and Madelyn Sargeant are the Williams driver’s parents who have done everything they could to support their child’s career, even if that meant moving to Switzerland. It was his father who introduced Karting to Logan when he was just 6 years old, with a Christmas gift for him and his brother. They received a go-kart each and soon got into racing. After winning multiple championships, it was their calling to Europe to see if they could make it in motorsports. And both Logan and Dalton Sargeant did make it.

It’s not easy to uproot one’s life and move to another country, let alone with a whole family. But that’s the dedication that Sargeant’s parents put into making their children’s career in racing. Moving is not the only challenge a driver has to face while getting into F1. Finances play a huge role in the game. It is safe to say that his family is well off enough to make sure that money is not a problem for him.

Who is Logan Sargeant’s uncle Harry Sargeant III

An interesting thing to note is that Logan Sargeant’s uncle Harry Sargeant III served as an officer and fighter pilot in the United States Marine Corps. Following his military service, Sargeant III ventured into business and has built a vast conglomerate of private enterprises with operations spanning aviation, oil refineries, oil trading, alternative fuels development, and oil and asphalt shipping. He is the owner of Sargeant Trading with the largest fleet of asphalt tankers and barges globally.

Additionally, Sargeant is the owner of the International Oil Trading Company (IOTC), a key supplier of aviation fuel to the U.S. Military in Iraq. This contract alone generates billions of dollars in revenue annually, and he is always there to back up Logan Sargeant.

Is Logan Sargeant connected to The US Presidential Candidate Donald Trump?

Logan Sargeant is not directly connected to Donald Trump, but his uncle Harry Sargeant III has done some work for the former President. He helped Trump by loaning Lev Pranas money to press the Ukrainian government to announce investigations to help Donald Trump Politically. The controversy took a bad turn for Sargeant when Congress uploaded Whatsapp messages between him and Pranas.

The WhatsApp messages disclosed that Sargeant was funding Parnas’ travels while supporting him and Rudy Giuliani in the removal of US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch. Despite the controversy, this has not hindered Logan Sargeant’s career. That being said, he can continue to focus on scoring some points this season.

Will Logan Sargeant’s home race at Miami GP prove to be a favorable one?

Nothing is stopping Logan Sargeant from scoring points during his homecoming except himself. It’s each racer for himself and there is no better time for him to prove himself than this. With his teammate Alex Albon pushing the car to the limits, it is expected that Logan Sargeant also does the same and brings in the much-needed points for the James Vowles-led team. But till now, the American born racer has not been able to make a significant impact on track. But history shows that he has done reasonably well in the US-based races.

That being said, do you think the Miami Grand Prix will see points for Williams and Logan Sargeant? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
