Logan Sargeant is finished in Melbourne so that Williams team-mate Alex Albon can carry on...
Sidelined Logan Sargeant said he hit the “hardest moment of my career” as Alex Albon’s Williams chassis breakage saw him handed Sargeant’s for the remainder of the Australian Grand Prix weekend.
Similarly, Williams team principal James Vowles reflected on the decision as one of his toughest as part of the team, though stressed that they had to give themselves the best chance of scoring points on Sunday.“As we fitted the soft tyres to Alex for his fast-lap, he hit the kerb at Turn 6. As he landed, it landed poorly and is speared him off into the wall,” said Vowles as he reflected on Albon’s FP1 crash.
“However, and this is the downside to things, we don’t have a spare chassis here in Melbourne with us. “We have to ensure that we never, ever put ourselves in that situation again going forward in the future. We’re here to go racing and to only have one car here on Saturday and Sunday, simply isn’t what we’re built to do.
