After the qualifying crash on Saturday, the fourth serious accident this season, Logan Sargeant (21) easily shot Finn Valtteri Bottas (34) off the track in Sunday’s race in Suzuka (Japan).
“That was my fault!”
The American: “Of course that’s my fault. But Bottas probably didn’t notice my wheels were stuck before!” Well, Sargeant was assured of the five-second penalty.
What’s next: Can Sargeant survive the final six races, including two at home (Austin and Las Vegas)? Team boss James Vowles: “We are giving Logan the opportunity to prove himself until the end of the season. Other directors were given a two-year probationary period. The accident was unfortunate. Until the crash he was just as fast as Albon. And on a circuit like Suzuka.”
“Two years probation…”
With the two-year probationary period, Vowles is probably referring to the two GP apprenticeships of Mick Schumacher (24) as a regular driver at Haas-Ferrari (2021 and 2022). On Saturday, Schumi junior applied for a job at Williams again (at a glance). But the German is not favorite if Sargeant has to leave. That would be the not so crash-prone Brazilian Felipe Drugovich (substitute for Aston Martin).
Schumi and Le Mans
Schumacher has long been looking out for Le Mans and the World Endurance Championship with Alpine. Even though the world champion son said again and again: “I don’t give up, I don’t fail. My dream remains Formula 1.”
