Logan Sargeant Might Actually Be America's Next Formula 1 Driver

Colton Herta's pursuit of a seat on the F1 grid may have come to an unceremonious close this week, but an American could still find their way to Formula 1 in 2023. Logan Sargeant, a Formula 2 driver in the Williams development system, is now reportedly in frame for a potential seat with the Williams team as early as next season.

A report from Motorsport states that Sargeant could benefit directly from the Herta licensing fiasco, with expected Williams target Nyck de Vries potentially slotting into AlphaTauri's expected open seat to re-open the seat currently held by Nicholas Latifi for Sargeant. However, Williams does still have other likely candidates, including former Alfa Romeo Sauber driver Antonio Giovanazzi and potential Alpine prospect loan Jack Aitken.
