What has Logan Sargeant been up to since leaving F1?<\/p>\n

\nSargeant made his F1 debut with the Grove-based squad in 2023, but was dropped midway through the following year’s campaign<\/a> after a string of poor performances. <\/p>\n

\nWilliams<\/a> team principal James Vowles had to take the tough decision to replace the American with Argentine driver Franco Colapinto until ex-Ferrari<\/a> star Carlos Sainz<\/a> joined the team in 2025. <\/p>\n

\nHaving entered into 36 grands prix before his F1 career was cut short, Sargeant picked up just a single point and suffered nine DNFs. <\/p>\n

\nAfter leaving F1, Sargeant took a break from professional racing activities until making the switch to endurance racing late last year. <\/p>\n

\nThe 25-year-old joined PR1\/Mathiasen Motorsports for the final LMP2 rounds of the IMSA SportsCar Championship and now competes in the LMGT3 class of the FIA’s World Endurance Championship (WEC). <\/p>\n

\nAt the start of 2026, the ex-Williams F1 star made a surprise appearance at the Ford season launch, ahead of the American manufacturer’s debut season in F1 working alongside Red Bull on their new power unit project<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\nAs well as officially launching the Red Bull F1 Ford Powertrains project<\/a> at the event in Detroit, Sargeant shared that alongside a return to IMSA for 2026, he had also accepted the role of factory driver for Ford Racing’s Hypercar entry<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\nThe American racer is set to join Mike Rockenfeller and Sebastian Priaulx as part of the lineup when Ford make their return to endurance racing in 2027. <\/p>\n
