Sargeant’s future has been thrown into doubt amid his ongoing🤡 struggles during his rookie campaign, which has bee✅n blighted by several costly crashes, the latest of which occurred during qualifying at the Japanese Grand Prix. 

The 22-year-old American, who made the step up from Formula 2, is the only full-time driver on the grid yet to score a point this season, with teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Alex Albon claiming all of Williams’ 21 p♒oints to date. 

Williams team principal Vowles has once again publicly backed Sargeant and defen꧃ded his performances. 

"Logan has very clear targets of what he has to hit before the end of the꧋ season, and we are working with him continuously," Vowles said in an interview on the Williams website.&nbsꦐp;

"🧜And that’s the important point, we are working with him. We wa🍨nt him to succeed, and we want him in the car next year.

"This is very much on us as well. We have taken someone straight from Formula 2, without any significant testing, put him a day and half in Bahrain in t💎his car, and then wished them well on a season that has been awfully challenging for rookies, full stop.

“There were some very positive signs to take out. First and foremost, Logan is not on the same aerodynamic specific as Alex was. We have updates that are on Alex’s car that are not on Logan's, due to the amount of at𓆏trition we have had this year.

“So, often when you see a performance of📖fset it is not quite what it may seem on the timing pages. Furthermore, to that, if you look at the case of Suzuka, he did a build up across the weekend, as he went into FP3, he did a time that matched Aleඣx.

“And as we go into qualifying, until the accident he was overlaying, line-on-line, wit🤪hin a𝕴 tenth of Alex’s performance at one of the trickiest circuits of the season.”

V🀅owles stressed that Williams are “nowhere near” reaching “the end of the road” with Sargeant. 

"So, the progress is there in certain forms but very clꦺearly being marred by a number of other issues and accidents h﷽ave appeared as well,” he added. 

“꧃We will continue to work with Logan, and invest in Loga🐼n, as we want him to succeed as a result of the journey he is on.

“He is ಌon a journey with us as Williams, we have a young driver programme that we will continue to𓃲 invest in. 

“And only at the point where all of us🦂 come to the conclusion that we have reached the end of that road will we make any decisions, but we are nowhere near that yet.”
