'It would be a great headache, wouldn't it?' 💬 Logan Sargeant's F2 form has impressed Williams F1 boss Jost Capito, who says a title tilt could hand the team an ideal problem ⬇️
"It would be a great headache, wouldn't it?," said Capito when asked about Sargeant's prospects."You know, it's his first season in F2. We didn't put any pressure on him.
"He has the time to develop, and he's really impressed us with how fast he has got to grips with the car, about the tyre management and getting results.Capito stressed that it was too early to make plans for Sargeant."And for that he has to finish in the top five in the championship. In the moment, it looks good.
"But you know, you can always get the other way pretty quickly. So it's quite tricky to take early decisions on something on a F2 driver as long as the season is not over. So that's part of the decision making, of course." Williams has already deployed one of its rookie FP1 slots this year, with Nyck de Vries driving in Spain, and Capito indicated that Sargeant has already earned a slot."Our young driver academy is working very well. We had three good results recently. Logan won the last two races and he set the car on pole [in France], so I think he deserves to get into the car."
Capito also indicated that Williams would be willing to take another team's driver on loan – such as Piastri – but only if it was the optimum overall choice.Race winner Logan Sargeant, Carlin"If it's not the best, if we have another, better solution, we will go for the better solution."And we will finally go for what we believe is the best for the team. But it's too early to get into details, because we're not there yet.
