Sargeant nega repetir erros de novato com acidente no treino livre de F1 em Suzuka

Logan Sargeant, from Williams Racing FW46, suffered an accident during the first practice session of the Japanese Grand Prix on April 5, 2024. This incident occurred during the Formula 1 World Championship, in the fourth round, in Suzuka, Japan, on Practice Day.

Williams driver Logan Sargeant denied that his accident during FP1 at the Japanese Grand Prix was similar to the mistakes he made in his first season in Formula 1. Sargeant made several mistakes during his debut season, including a collision with the barrier in Suzuka last October.

Upon returning to Japan, Sargeant encountered another setback, colliding with the barrier during the first hour of practice at Dunlop Curve. This caused damage to his gearbox and suspension, although the chassis remained intact, as Williams did not have a spare tub available for this weekend.

Although he was unable to participate in FP2, limited practice due to light rain allowed Sargeant’s car to be repaired in time for the final practice session tomorrow.

Reflecting on the incident, Sargeant admitted to making a foolish mistake by positioning his car in an unexpected location, especially during P1. However, he emphasized that this mistake does not compare to those he made last year, as it was not a result of excessive pressure. He expressed relief that the team only suffered minor damages.

Sargeant dismissed the idea that his absence from the Australian Grand Prix, which allowed his teammate Alex Albon to use the only functional chassis, affected his confidence. He stated that he felt rejuvenated and ready to move forward after a week off, and that his error had nothing to do with confidence, but rather a visual mistake from which he plans to recover.

The Director of the Williams Team, James Vowles, agreed with Sargeant’s assessment, acknowledging that the incident was not a result of exceeding the limits. He explained that it was a different type of mistake, frustrating because it did not happen at the car’s limit. Vowles clarified that Sargeant simply miscalculated the car’s position on the track, unrelated to his absence in Melbourne.
