Logan Sargeant is annoyed! The Williams driver was blocked in Hungarian qualifying and believes Max Verstappen “might be treated a bit better “
Logan Sargeant is angry! The Williams driver made it to the second part of qualifying in Hungary last weekend, but had to retire there – because he was held up by the competition. “I had to overtake about eight cars in one lap. And everyone waits a few corners too long to make room,” grumbles Sargeant.
His assertion: “When you see someone like Max [Verstappen] or Lewis [Hamilton] who are so successful, maybe you treat them a bit better,” says the Williams driver. “I think it’s a question of respect. I try to treat everyone the same!”
The American criticizes the fact that he has often been blocked by the competition in qualifying. “I personally don’t do that,” says the 23-year-old, presenting himself as a fair sportsman. “But it’s a precedent for the future, maybe I need to start doing it. “
Must Sargeant become more ruthless?
After all, Sargeant was unable to show the Williams’ full potential due to the blockade of the competition. “It’s disappointing not to be able to get everything out of yourself because it’s out of my hands or theirs,” the American was crestfallen after qualifying in Hungary. “I’m disappointed with Q2 because I know I could have done more. And a lot more. “
Whether the Williams driver should be a little more ruthless with the competition in future? “If nothing changes, then definitely,” threatens Sargeant, who is making significant progress overall. At Silverstone, he achieved his best qualifying result to date in twelfth place. “I think things are going in the right direction.”
Nevertheless, the American does not seem to be satisfied with the current situation. “Whether I drive well or badly, I get criticized either way,” said Sargeant recently. “I see a lot of negativity.” Perhaps the Williams driver will have to become a bad boy after the summer break …
