Williams F1 team boss Jost Capito has dropped a hint that Logan Sargeant could be confirmed as their race driver for 2023 as soon as this weekend USGP
During a fan Q&A on Friday, Capito was asked when he thinks an American driver could next be seen on the F1 grid.Given the location of this weekend’s race, such an announcement would be an ideal marketing opportunity, one day after Sargeant made his practice debut with Williams.
However, Sargeant has not yet secured the FIA super licence points he requires in order to race in F1 next year. Sargeant - who sits third in the F2 standings - currently needs a top-five finish in the championship by the end of next month’s season finale in Abu Dhabi to guarantee a superlicence.Because he completed over 100km of running in his FP1 appearance at COTA, Sargeant earned one more superlicence point, moving him onto 28 of the required 40.
Providing he has a clean final round, Sargeant would also pick up two more superlicence points for not being hit with any penalty points in 2022.
