Logan Sargeant‘s time as an F1 driver has come to an end after two seasons with Williams Racing.
The 23-year-old American driver made his official debut in 2023 with the team, but after last weekend, he is no longer on the Formula 1 team.
In his place, Formula 2 star Franco Colapinto is being promoted from Williams reserve driver to moving up to Alex Albon‘s teammate for the remainder of the 2024 season, making his debut THIS coming weekend at the 2024 Italian Grand Prix.

I know that Franco has great speed and huge potential, and we look forward to seeing what he can do in Formula 1,” James added.
