Logan Sargeant felt 'less pressure than expected' as he raced to secure his F1 superlicence in Abu Dhabi's F2 finale. 'I had become quite understanding of what was at stake and quite at peace with it, so I just took the pressure off.'
Sargeant was announced over the United States Grand Prix as Williams' 2023 Formula 1 driver but only on the proviso that he could qualify for a superlicence. With one F2 round left to run that meant the American had to avoid finishing lower than sixth in the drivers' standings to get over the 40-point threshold.
Sargeant was only one mishap away from seeing his F1 dream go up in smoke, and while he admitted acquiring the licence was a weight off his shoulders, he actually felt less pressure than expected because he had come to terms with what was at stake.
