Under pressure F1 star criticised for “random mistakes” with future in doubt
Logan Sa✱rgeant has been criticised for his "random mistakes".
Ex-F1 driver Jolyon Palmer has criticised 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Logan Sargeant🍷 for making “random mistakes” following a difficult Japanese Grand Prix.
With Williams teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon out of the race, all of t🐷he onus was on Sargeant t🏅o perform at Suzuka.
Sargea🐼nt was in the battle for the final point in Japan on Sunday before a slꦺow pit stop ruined his chances.
His race was further compounded by an off-track moment at Degna 2 - the second quick right-hander af🐠ter the esses - running off into the gravel trap.
Sargeant is yet to beat teammate Albon𝔍 in𒆙 a qualifying session - or race - during his time in F1.
Reflecting on Sarge🔜ant’s display, Palmer - who raced in F1 between 2016 and 2017 - described his mistakes as “small inaccuracies”.
“It’s just small inaccuracies that Logan [Sargeant] can ill-af🃏ford𒁏 and the pressure,” he said.
“We know all the chat that c𝓰ame about with Williams’s driver choice in Melbourne but Logan really has a point to prove at the moment and he was having a good race up to this point.
“He made some good overtakes, and it was looking encouraging as once again th𓂃e only Williams in the Grand Prix after [Al༺ex] Albon’s early exit.
“But you can just see the inaccuracies here, from lap to lap there are just small d⛄ifferences in Logan’s line and this is why he just sometimes makes random mistakes during Grand Prix.
“Thinking back to Zandvoort, thinki𒁏ng to Singapore as well last season, the🔜se things happen just slightly too often still for Sargeant.”
Sargeant’s F1 future is in doubt, pღarticularly with 11 other drivers on the grid out of contract.
Williams could also turn to Mercedes protege Andrea Kimi Antonelli as a potential option if they don’t opt for the Italian as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s replacement.
Forme🦩r Williams driver Raꦰlf Schumacher feels that Sargeant is “overwhelmed”.
“He just makes too many mis🦂takes,” Schumacher said. “It just keeps coming back to the same thing – he’s simply overwhelmed and it’s time for him to realise it and pr✅obably do something different.”
