With 0 Points to His Name, American Wonderboy Logan Sargeant Disses One of F1’s Most Successful Teams

In the 73 years of Formula 1, the sport has seen many teams come and go. However, there are some teams that have stood the test of time and still feature on the 2023 grid. One such team is Williams Racing. Frank Williams found the British team in 1977 and is currently in the most difficult phase the team has ever faced. This recent downfall could be the reason why their rookie driver, Logan Sargeant, did not give the team the respect they deserve in his recent comments.

In the 46 years of Williams, the team has won nine constructors and seven drivers championships. However, the current state of the team is a mere shadow of their past championship-winning self. Additionally, people indeed have short-term memories and Sargeant’s comments to Motorsport-Nextgen prove that.

The rookie who finished his debut race outside the points in 12th commented on expectations on behalf of the team. “We probably didn’t expect it to be where we were, compared to the test, and it’s a huge testament to the work the team has put in. I’m very proud of everyone,” Sargeant said. (Translated by Google)

Sargeant also revealed how he treaded cautiously during the race, which worked out in his favor. “I just looked for the flaws and tried to fill them! I didn’t ask for too much. I didn’t ask for much, it all fell on me,” he added.

Sargeant’s comments are a result of the recent downfall of the legendary F1 team. However, the team is keeping its head down and making slow and consistent progress to ride this wave. An approach the American rookie will also follow throughout the season.

The American got a confidence boost from his performance in Bahrain. However, the American is not getting ahead of himself and keeping his head down in preparation for the upcoming 22 races.

“It will be more important to keep preparing well, working hard and staying on that upward trajectory. As far as I’m concerned, I still have a lot to learn. I still have a lot to learn, that’s for sure,” he said.

It might be difficult to keep up the results and performance for Williams as the season progresses, with the rest of the grid fighting for each place.
