Formula 1, 2024!
Let's talk about Logan.
It's most definitely not his fault. He wasn't ready. He isn't ready. Maybe if he had had another year, we would be looking at the future of F1, but a combination of James and Williams American Sponsors left Logan with one opportunity that he was never going to get ever again.
It's devastating, and it's tragic, and it is reality.
Logan Sargeant deserved a real, fair chance in F1. Williams wasn't that. Not with the TP crooning about the first driver constantly, about how the first driver is going to be the one the team focuses on.
But he gives Logan a second chance.
Or, rather, based on what has been coming out of late, the American Sponsors give him another chance. And in retaliation, the TP spends the entirety of the rest of the season essentially making it clear to everyone that while Logan has the second seat, he was never James's first choice.
So be it.
But what the Williams team weren't prepared for is the fact that the American Sponsors weren't wrong for keeping Logan in the seat for another year. Just on here and even on Instagram (screw X, the demon child), the support, if anything, grew.
Because you talk about dignity and then you take away his car.
You talk about skill and then the driver you replace him with doesn't score points.
You talk about talent, but the driver you're replacing him with has been in Red Bulls and Ferraris. One would hope that he is skilled.
You don't talk about the fact that the whole world is watching you publicly embarrass someone whom you yourself say you have a "duty of care" for.
You don't talk about the fact that maybe Logan would have stood a chance if the Feedback actually came from you instead of the pretty little sentence on the radio at the end.
So unfortunately, but realistically, Logan Sargeant is out of F1.
But his legacy will live on. He is the first American to score points in 30 years. He is the reason people on this website and across the media were able to clock that Mr. Nice Guy is just a very good act.
He's the reason so many Americans did start tuning in.
He's one of the reasons that the conversation about the way drivers are treated in this sport is a conversation that isn't going away.
It's not the legacy he had in mind, but it is an important one.
So thank you, Logan, for paving the way. You're in the record books, and we appreciate what it took for you to get there.

reblog if youâve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. Iâm trying to see something
Kinda thinking of something Like Dogwards Canary Au
But instead of Jimmy running to renchanting, or scott being abusive, it's just Martyn trying to rizz Jimmy up and steal him from scott, only for it to result in Martyn being adopted and then become a poly relationship
Logan Sargeant does not deserve what happened today and this is my rant about it.
Firstly, and this is extremely obvious but Logan didnât crash the car. Alex did. Logan didnât make the mistake. Alex did. If you crash the car to the point they canât repair it, it is your responsibility to suffer whatever consequences which come of that.
Now Williams are the only team to do something like this in recent years (to my knowledge) on the off chance they score points? Alex has not scored points this season yet and that is not due to the talent it is due to the car, so it doesnât matter who drives it at this point in the season the car is just not up to scratch.
I am also a firm believer that if Logan didnât have that steering issue in Bahrain he would have at least scored a point, so it is not due to a lack of talent on Loganâs part it is due to a lack of faith from Williams.
Another thing to note that jumped into my head is Qatar 2023. Carlos Sainz had an issue with the fuel tank. Despite Carlos being a recent race winner Ferrari did not tell him to jump into Charlesâ car did they? Because other teams know that if it is an issue with one driverâs car then it is not the responsibility of the other driver to bear the brunt of the aftermath.
This is not just Logan paying for Alexâs mistake this is Logan paying for the entirety of Williamsâ lack of preparation. It is their fault they donât have a third chassis, it is not Loganâs job to be stood there with a checklist in the manufacturing or transport stage to ensure they are prepared. Why should he suffer?
This also shows a massive lack of trust in Logan from the entirety of Williams, especially James Vowels. Why would you resign a driver, claim that you believe in him when you are going to give him the obvious second driver treatment? This could have been a great opportunity for Logan to build up confidence but instead Williams broke him down inside out.
They can preach all they want about giving Logan another chance. This is a sport. Words mean nothing. Unless you practice what you preach it is honestly worthless. Itâs a fat load of good saying you believe in a person if when push comes to shove you decide to kick them out of their own car.
Also, I donât think Alex could have said no to taking Loganâs car. Maybe he could have protested, and he should have, but it was team orders at the end of the day. But, if he could have said âno this is wrong, it is my mistake I should pay for itâ then he definitely should have and if he didnât then thatâs on him.
Ultimately, Logan didnât deserve any of this and this says more about Williams than it does about Logan. I personally hope he scores points at Suzuka just to stick it to the team.
