Representing the United States of America in Formula 1 is as much of a privilege as it is a responsibility, Logan Sargeant has admitted.
After announcing Nicholas Latifi would be leaving the team after three seasons, Williams confirmed their intention to promote junior driver Sargeant to replace him next year. But that offer was dependent upon whether he could earn the points he needed to gain the superlicence required by the FIA for all F1 drivers.
He did so comfortably in the end, finishing fourth in the F2 standings. Back-to-back feature race wins at Silverstone and in Austria were the highlights of a season which ended with confirmation that he will carry American hopes in F1 next year.
