- Vowles debunks rumors about communication breakdowns between him and Sargeant.

Williams team principal James Vowles has slammed the “odd stories” regarding driver Logan Sargeant’s future, especially those suggesting a communication breakdown between them.
In a recent media roundtable, Vowles confirmed that he talks to Sargeant regularly, especially during race weekends. He said his responsibility is to help Sargeant perform for the team.
Former F1 driver Marcus Ericsson had commented that Vowles and Sargeant hardly spoke, but Vowles firmly denied this. “Logan and I speak several times a week,” Vowles insisted.
Vowles acknowledged the team’s investment in Sargeant, highlighting that they have seen his growth at races like Silverstone and Budapest. However, he admitted Sargeant was “off the pace” at the Belgian Grand Prix.
The unpredictability of Sargeant’s car has been a challenge. “It’s hard to pinpoint why,” Vowles said, but added that Sargeant knows he needs to match teammate Alex Albon’s performance.
Vowles was clear about Sargeant’s need to earn his place in the team, praising his performance at Silverstone and Budapest but urging for more consistency.
While Vowles did not definitively confirm Sargeant’s future with Williams, he stressed that Sargeant, like everyone else on the team, must continuously prove his worth.
As the season progresses, Logan Sargeant’s future with Williams remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: he must earn his place.
