Sargeant is first American driver to score a point in an F1 race since Michael Andretti in 1993.
Florida native Logan Sargeant had a dispiriting Friday and Saturday ahead of Sunday's F1 United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas at Austin, Texas, qualifying last for both the main race and Sprint, before being soundly beaten by teammate Alex Albon in the shorter race. That came after a sequence of recent race weekends with several accidents and retirements that placed the young American under pressure. But on Sunday, Sargeant had a quietly impressive turnaround.
After the race, race runner-up Lewis Hamilton and sixth-place finisher Charles Leclerc were disqualified after their cars failed postrace inspection. The double disqualification was good news for Sargeant, who was promoted into the top 10.Sargeant therefore takes home his maiden point, the first for an American in Formula 1 since Michael Andretti at the 1993 Italian Grand Prix.
