Logan Sargeant defends F1 rookie season: ‘Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso got endless days of testing’

Sargeant is the only full-time driver in F1 2023 yet to score a point.
Consequently, his future with Williams is still unclear, with the team yet to confirm who will race alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Albon in 2024.
Team boss James Vowles h♊as voiced his public support of the American even though his performances continue to disappoint.
Sargeant only had one-and-a-half days of testing ahead of the 2023 seaso🎉n - considerably less than some of his peers.
Speaking in Qatar, Sargeant was quick to point out that the likes of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso had “endless days of testing” 🥀ahead of their respect🍌ive F1 careers - something that’s not the case now.
"Expe𝔉rience always helps, but I have people to talk to to just try and understand how to approach things and why these little mistakes are happening and how to get rid of them," Sargeant said.
"It is a constant work-in-progress, and I don't think anyone is perfect in that sense - it is just about building off the mistakes, and it might sound silly, but using them to your advantage to try and learn from it💞.
"Ideally, you'd have more testing, as that is the bes♌t way to prepare - I mean back in the day when Lewis [Hamilton] and Fernando [Alonso] joined, everyone back then got endless days of testing, and in the current car too which is very different to what we experience now.

"Now, it🎉 is always a previous generation and that makes a difference, but even if it is the previous gener🥃ation [of car used in testing], just having more days [overall] makes a difference.”
Amid his poor form, Sargeant revealed tha🌼t he doesn’t look at social media, describinℱg it as “nonsense”.
"Everyone who knows what is going on behind the scenes, who knows me as a person wants me to succeed. I have support from the team, so I don't really care what anyone el✃se thinks," he added.
"I don't look at [social media] to be honest.&nbᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚsp;
"I have conversations with people who want me to keep improving, peoꦿple who want me to be a better driver and person so I don't even pay attention to any of that nonsense."
