Logan Sargeant finished the Dutch Grand Prix in 16th place after a big crash in FP3 kept him out of qualifying. He addressed rumors about being replaced this season.
During the summer break, it was announced that Carlos Sainz will join the team in 2025. After qualifying, team principal James Vowles was seen at Red Bull Racing, sparking more speculation. Liam Lawson might step in for Williams at the Italian Grand Prix next weekend. The New Zealander has driven a Formula One car before, filling in for Daniel Ricciardo last season.
Replacement Rumors:
Sargeant responded to these rumors while talking to reporters. “No, I hear them every weekend, so it’s nothing new. No, I couldn’t care less,” he said.
In FP3, Sargeant damaged his Williams by going off track at Turn 4. Besides Lawson, Andrea Kimi Antonelli and Franco Colapinto are also potential replacements. Interestingly, Antonelli just turned 18 today, making him eligible for a Formula One super licence without special exceptions .
Fans might wonder if these changes will improve the team’s performance.
