Rookie contender Frederik Vesti under consideration for Williams 2024 seat
The car currently belonging to Logan Sargeant is the only unconfirmed spot remaining in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2024 F1 driver line-up.
The American rookie has struggled at times and, even during this weekﷺend’s season-finale Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, his future for next꧅ season is in question
"In Las Vegas, however, I wondered why James Vowles had not yet [confirmed] Sargeant at Williams,” ’s Ralf Schumach🔥er said.
“This is probably due to the fact that Frederick Vesti is on the wish list and he i𒊎s watching him closely in Abu Dhabi, and is also allowe💧d to view his data in order to possibly make a decision for next year.”
Vesti drove during Free Practice 1, instead of Lewis Hamilton, for Mercedes as part of the m🥂andatory rookie𝓡 programme.
“Frederik is great, he’s had a very good season,” Mercedes teꦅam principal Toto Wolff told Sky.
“He’s reliable, we have hi𝕴m in the simulator an🃏d he does a good job.
“Some of the guys who drove in FP1 deserve to be in a Formula 1✅ car.”
Wolff said about the influence he may have over Williams’ decision: “I was at Williams 12 or 13 years ago. What I always wanted with Frank was to take our own decision on dr🅘ivers with no interference from a big brother.
“That’s why I always resp✨ected that we’ve never had a contract which allows us to put a dri🦄ver in.
“It’s in James’ authority to decide.”
Williams tea❀m principal James Vowles said: "The decision wilꦇl not be made this weekend in Abu Dhabi.
“When you talk about the future of the team and that of a young man, what the future looks like in Formula 1, then I want to make this decision calmly, after the race weꦏekend.
“No decision has been made yet.”
James was a sports journalist at Sky Sports for a decade covering everything from Am🦄erican🅺 sports, to football, to F1.
