With a strong run of recent results, including back-to-back feature race wins, Logan Sargeant has jumped to second in the F2 standings in no time. Could he be US' best shot at getting a driver into F1 for the first time since 2015? [Prime]
Logan Sargeant’s single-seater career looked like it was over at the end of 2020. Lacking the budget to stay with Prema Racing for a third season at FIA Formula 3 level after coming close to that year's title or the huge financial backing necessary to move up to F2, the American had resigned himself to a move to sportscars.
But Charouz Racing System needed a driver for its F3 team for 2021 – admittedly a downgrade, going from the 2020 champions to the team who finished last – and Sargeant grabbed it with both hands. He went on to finish seventh in the standings with a win and three further podiums, comfortably the best-performing Charouz driver as his teammates chopped and changed during the year.
