Logan Sargeant defends F1 rookie season: ‘Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso got endless days of testing’

Sargeant is the only full-time driver in F1 2023 yet to score a point.
Consequently, his future with Williams is still unclear, with the team yet to confirm who will race alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon in 2024.
Team boss James Vow♑les has voiced his public support of the Ameri🧜can even though his performances continue to disappoint.
Sargeant only had one-and-a-half days of testing ahead of the 2023 season -🏅 considerably less than some of his peers.
Speaking in Qatar, Sargeant was quick to point out that the likes of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso had “endless days of testing” ahead of their respective F1 careers - some☂thing that’s not the case now.
"Experience always helps, but I have people to talk to to just try and understand how to approach things and why theseꦡ little mistakes are happening and how to get rid of them," Sargeant said.
"It is a constant work-in-progress, and I don'𒐪t think anyone is perfect in that sense - it is just about building off the mistakes, and it might sound silly, but using them to your advantage to try an🌺d learn from it.
"Ideally, you'd have more testing, as that is the best way to p𝓡repare - I mean back in the day when Lewis [Hamilton] and Fernando [Alonso] joined, everyone back then got endless days of testing, and in the current car too which is very different to what we experience now.

"Now, it is always a previous generation and that makes a difference, but even iꦯf it is the previous generation [of car used in testing], just having more days [overall] ꧅makes a difference.”
Amid his poor form, Sargeant revealed that he doesn’t ꦗlook at social media, describing it as “nonsense”.
"Everyone who knows what is going on behind the ൩scenes, who knows me as a person wants me to succeed. I have support from the team, so I don't really care what anyone else thinks," he added.
"I don't look at [social meꦚdia] to be honest.&n🌸bsp;
"I have conversations with people who want me to keep improving, people who wan🍎t me to be a better driver and person so I don't even pay attention to any of that nonsense."
