F1 | Sargeant at Suzuka with the chassis destroyed by Albon in Melbourne
The Thai's chassis was repaired for the Japanese Grand Prix
The difficult period continues Logan Sargeant. After being benched by Williams a Melbourne due, in fact, to Albon, who destroyed his chassis during free practice and then got into his teammate's car for the rest of the weekend, the American driver will race with the Thai's chassis repaired in Grove just after the accidentAlbert Park. All this officially so as not to give the mechanics any additional extra work, and also because the spare chassis won't arrive until Miami Grand Prix. So, be it for Suzuka that for Shanghai, Williams still won't have a forklift in case of a serious accident.
“Yes, I will race with the repaired chassis – Sargeant admitted. This is because fixing the cars would be too much for the mechanics, but the repair still went better than expected. It weighs about 100 grams more than mine, so it's not a significant figure. Regarding what happened in Melbourne, I think you always have to do the right thing for the team. Of course, as a driver, I want to drive, but I know everyone is working hard. I don't blame anyone, everyone does their best and I also make mistakes, as does the team, but we move on. I try to feel better psychologically, and after a week off you see everything with a different perspective. The start of my season was good, but it still didn't show in qualifying, and I think I could have shown something in Australia. I'm close to what I need."
