Logan Sargeant Escapes Fiery Crash During Dutch Grand Prix Practice

Logan Sargeant's Harrowing Experience

American F1 driver Logan Sargeant escaped unharmed after losing control of his car during practice at the Dutch Grand Prix Saturday. The car crashed into a wall, crumpled on impact, and ignited in flames.

Sargeant sat in the car for a moment afterward, reassuring over the team radio, “I’m good,” before his race engineer urged him to exit due to flames coming from the rear. He vaults out of the smoking vehicle and walked towards the side of the track while the session was red flagged.

The Williams Racing team confirmed that Sargeant was unharmed but noted they couldn’t repair his car in time for qualifying. The team will continue to repair and build his car in preparation for race day.

Future for Logan Sargeant

Logan Sargeant, racing in his first Grand Prix since it was announced he will be replaced by Spaniard Carlos Sainz next year, has yet to score points this season. He rose to fame earlier this year by becoming the first American in 30 years to score points in an F1 race, finishing 10th at the United States Grand Prix.

• Lando Norris recorded the fastest time, starting on pole for the race.
• Max Verstappen will start in second place with Oscar Piastri in third.
• Lewis Hamilton is set to start from 12th on the grid.
