Will he lose his cockpit?
Formula 1 crash driver now faces early departure
A heavy crash involving Williams driver Logan Sargeant overshadowed the final practice session of the Formula 1 race in the Netherlands on Saturday. Now the US-American is threatened with an early departure.
The staff at the Williams factory rejoiced when team boss James Vowles announced the signing of Carlos Sainz for 2025. No wonder. The Spaniard is a top driver, even though he got "stuck" in the second qualifying session with the Ferrari. But at Williams, they are probably also rejoicing that they will soon be rid of Logan Sargeant.
The broken driver didn't even make it into qualifying because he had destroyed his car in the third practice session. He hit the grass, flew off and caught fire - but at least he was uninjured. It was his fourth crash after Canada, Miami and Japan. This year alone ...
Rumor has it that he will lose his cockpit after Holland. Mick Schumacher, who had to look on in despair in the Mercedes hospitality yesterday, would be available as a replacement. Team boss Toto Wolff had previously revealed that Kimi Antonelli will inherit Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes in 2025. This means that "Schumi's" last hope is a seat at Sauber.
Incidentally, Williams had brought along an update with which Alex Albon set the eighth-fastest time. The catch: the new underbody was too wide and the Thai was disqualified. So this time there was nothing to cheer about.
