There is less and less left until the end of the season and, as it should be, the thoughts of many teams are already turning to 2024. There is, however, still one team that has not announced its complete lineup. Let's talk about Williams: the Grove stablein fact, in view of next year, Albon confirmed, author of an exceptional 2023, but continues to reflect on the future of Sargeant.
Vowles reveals Sargeant's future at Williams: "He will have until the end of the season"
Zero points and many errors. The season of Sargeant in Williams certainly cannot be evaluated in a positive light, but it is still true that we are talking about a rookie. Precisely for this reason, with five races to go, Vowles prefers to wait until the end of the season, before understanding what the future of the American will be: “I believe that we will make a decision by the end of the season. I think we are already on the journey, where he has his own goals to achieve and it would be wrong to make a hasty decision. So, we will decide by the end of the year".
“There's a bit of frustration in him, but that's to be expected”
Timeline established. Sargeant will still have some time to try to deserve his re-appointment at Williams, though the frustration for the results that don't arrive he makes himself heard: "Credo – continued Vowles – that for his part frustration is completely legitimate and present for a few months. During the season, however, the gap with Albon it grew more and more and now it's normal that you may find some frustration: his normal tools are not producing the quality of lap time that was there before".
Advice to try to improve
Despite the difficulties, a decision still awaits, Vowles wants to continue believing in Sargeant and he already knows what the American will have to improve on: “He knows how to win. He triumphed in Formula 3 and Formula 2 but arriving in Formula 1 and not being able to achieve the results created generates more and more frustration. All this leads to excessive driving and this is the aspect to remember and avoid".
