News about Alexander Rossi

Despite earning only a single point in his rookie year, Logan Sargeant will be back on the Formula One grid for the 2024 season after being offered a new deal by Williams. In recent months, the American driver, 22, has had a number of commentators, finishing his first year in the sport bottom of the championship, barring Nyck De Vries, who was dropped after only 10 races and 26 points behind his teammate Alex Albon. There had been rumors that Sargeant could be replaced by Formula Two champion Theo Pourchaire, but Williams team principal James Vowles has decided to stick with his man and give him a second year behind the wheel.

The long-running rivalry surrounding IndyCar championship leader Alex Palou culminated in another wild twist on Friday, when McLaren Racing's CEO told his team that the Spaniard has "no intention of honoring his deal" with the team next year. Brown wrote to the Arrow McLaren Racing workers, one of which was obtained by The Associated Press, that Palou had given him multiple assurances that he'd be wearing papaya in 2024 and has already been paid in advance. The letter was sent to McLaren employees shortly after the final IndyCar Series on-track session at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Friday. Palou rebuked Chip Ganassi Racing's effort to pick up the option Ganassi held on for 2023 last July, unexpectedly breaking into the free agent market. Palou said he was then both McLaren's IndyCar programme and a Formula One contract.

Katherine Legge of England qualified for the Indianapolis 500 for the third time on Saturday, while Felix Rosenqvist led the McLaren charge on Saturday by posting the fastest four-lap average at the Brickyard. Rosenqvist's late afternoon run of 233.947 mph was the third fastest four-lap qualifying effort in race history, defeating new teammate Alexander Rossi from the top position, which had been on hold for nearly six hours. 'It was mind blowing how we found so much speed,' Rosenqvist said. What a run.' Being in an Arrow McLaren was a blast. We're certainly looking good right now,' he says.'

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Logan Sargeant, a Bahrain-based athlete, is gearing up for his second race in Saudi Arabia after getting off to a promising start. The former World Karting Champion and Carlin F2 champion has settled in well with the Grove-based outfit, scoring a P12 finish in his debut race. In addition, he defeated both rookies making their debuts for their teams this weekend - AlphaTauri's Nyck de Vries and longtime rival and McLaren driver Oscar Piastri.

Logan Sargeant of Williams Racing blasted his fellow rookie drivers in Bahrain at the opening grand prix of the season on Sunday, capping America's long absence from Formula One. Sargeant put in a good start on the soft compound tires before heading for hards and finishing P12. After an excellent start that saw the Fort Lauderdale native and fellow Williams teammate Alex Albon get off to a three-native jump three positions, Sargeant put in a good start. Sargeant's appearance on the grid brought an end to a dry streak for the US on the Formula One grid.

As Formula One's 2023 season begins, a cold streak for the United States will be snapped when Logan Sargeant stands up at the start. Since Alexander Rossi's arrival in 2015, the Florida native is expected to be the first American to complete a full season since Scott Speed all the way back in 2006. Over the past few seasons, F1 has seen a surge in popularity in the United States, but Sargeant's entry could propel the sport even higher in the United States' midst of tight competition from NASCAR and IndyCar.

Last year, the 22-year-old finished fourth in a feeder series, and he is expected to compete in the Middle East in March as car No. 2 (see above). Williams, the nine-time champion-winning British motor racing team, takes the 2nd position. Sargeant competed in F2 for Rodin Carlin, another British motor racing team, and earned the competition's Rookie of the Year award.

Prospect Logan Sargeant has been on the radar ever since he was hired by Williams as a development agent. His progress in F2 piqued the interest, and now the youngster has earned his spot at the top of the table with Williams for the 2023 season. He'll be the first American to compete in an F1 championship since Alexander Rossi in 2015, and he's on track to become the first American to race a complete F1 calendar since Scott Speed in 2006. If he wins in a race, he'd be the first American to do so since 1978.

Since ESPN announced their record-breaking viewing figures at the end of the season, the popularity of Formula One in America has continued to grow in 2022. Despite the fact that 2022 was a much more low-key year, with no late Abu Dhabi drama and weeks to spare, ESPN's numbers continued to rise, with a 28 percent year-on-year increase. With the Las Vegas Grand Prix being added to weekends in Miami and Austin, the big jump comes ahead of a 2022 calendar with an unprecedented three races in the United States.

Logan Sargeant has spoken out for the first time since being confirmed for a 2023 Formula One seat, with the 21-year-old Williams driver calling the project a 'dream come true.' Sargeant will drive the Williams car for the first time at Dubai's postseason test on Thursday, making him the first American F1 driver in eight years. For 2023, he'll compete with Alex Albon, with the team announcing that they were working with Nicholas Latifi.

Logan Sargeant has successfully earned enough Super License points to guarantee his Formula One seat for 2023, marking the first time in eight years. Sargeant, 21, was told by Williams in October that he had won a ride with them next year, but that his future was dependent on him finishing the season strong in Formula 2. Sargeant had to qualify in Abu Dhabi for his fourth position in the F2 championship, and his fifth-placed finish was enough to get him over the line and win himself F2 Rookie of the Year.

With over 440,000 fans descending on Austin, Texas, last weekend's United States Grand Prix was the most attended Formula One race of the season. With 420,000 spectators at Albert Park, the number exceeded the previous record at the Australian Grand Prix, which also broke its own attendance record this year. The attendance of COTA in the United States was a glimpse into what may be even bigger gains for the sport in the United States. There are more chances for American F1 fans to attend races than ever this year, with two races stateside and a third on the calendar next year.

Logan Sargeant is on the verge of becoming America's first Formula One racer since 2015 after being offered a ride at Williams next year - if he can score the right number of Super License points in F2's season finale. In the first practice session for F1's Grand Prix on Friday, the 21-year-old Florida native rode for Williams, and the weekend was even better than the one that followed 2023. Williams' plans for next season were announced by team principal Jost Capito on Saturday morning, and Sargeant will be on the grid if he makes it to Abu Dhabi next month.

Formula One's success in the United States is continuing to grow, and it shows no signs of slowing down after a multi-year broadcast extension was agreed upon. According to various outlets, ESPN and F1 have officially agreed on a new contract until 2025. The agreement's particulars were not revealed. Each season, a minimum of 16 races will air on ABC and ESPN, with some of which will be completely commercial-free.

The American motorsport family has rallied behind Formula One-chastised Colton Herta, insisting that the 'elitist' sport doesn't want drivers from the United States involved. Herta had been heavily involved with 2023 until this week, when it was revealed that Red Bull, along with sister company AlphaTauri, had scrapped plans to get him the mandatory superlicense required for him to get a job. The IndyCar race winner had been predicted to drive for AlphaTauri next season, and he would have been the first American driver to play the sport after Alexander Rossi in 2015.
