The hardships that haven’t dented Logan Sargeant's F1 dream
Faced with “no options” for 2021, Logan Sargeant’s Formula 1 dream looked set to crumble. But a last-minute Formula 3 seat and a strong season secured him a Formula 2 drive for 2022. He told Motorsport.com how his transformative season affected both his personality and his future.
“Out of adversity comes opportunity,” Benjamin Franklin once said. And that seems to have been precisely the case for Logan Sargeant, having fought his way through budget struggles and a year with a midfield team to secure an FIA Formula 2 seat for 2022.
The American driver, long since tipped as the United States’ best Formula 1 hopeful, looked set for big things at the beginning of 2020. Moving from Carlin’s FIA Formula 3 team to reigning champions Prema, he took two wins and six podiums throughout the season to finish third behind now-F2 champion Oscar Piastri and Theo Pourchaire, having narrowly missed out to teammate Piastri in an agonising final round showdown.
