Williams have confirmed their intention to hand their vacant race seat for next season to Logan Sargeant.
The young American has impressed in F2 this season and has done enough to convince Williams that he is worth promoting to the top series. But they will have to wait until the end of the season to know whether or not they will be able to.
Sargeant is yet to secure enough points for an FIA superlicence. Whether or not that will change in time for next season will depend on whether he can secure sixth place or better in the F2 standings at the season finale in Abu Dhabi next month.
