United States’ Logan Sargeant finished fourth in Formula 2 Championship to secure his F1 licence for 2023 season<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

American Logan Sargeant has secured the final seat on next year’s Formula 1 grid with Williams.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The team said last month that the 21-year-old would be given the drive alongside Alex Albon if he secured the required points for an F1 licence.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Finishing fourth in the Formula 2 championship at the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi has taken Sargeant well over the 40 points required.<\/span><\/p>\n

Williams are expected to confirm the move in the coming days.<\/span><\/p>\n

Team principal and chief executive officer Jost Capito said at the US Grand Prix: “We feel he’s ready to race in F1 and on the condition he has enough super-licence points he will be our second driver next year.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Sargeant’s promotion confirms that Mick Schumacher, who has raced for Haas for the last two years, <\/span>has lost his place in F1<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The US-based team announced on Thursday that they had signed German veteran Nico Hulkenberg as Kevin Magnussen’s team-mate in 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hulkenberg had been without an F1 seat since being dropped by Renault at the end of the 2019 season, although he has made a handful of substitute appearances for the Racing Point\/Aston Martin team after Sergio Perez, Lance Stroll and Sebastian Vettel contracted Covid-19.<\/span><\/p>\n

Schumacher, son of seven-time world champion Michael, wants to return to F1 as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

“There are different opportunities and I am strongly planning to be back in 2024,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

He is tipped to become Mercedes’ reserve driver. No formal talks have yet taken place between the two parties but Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff said: “Mick is someone that has always been close to our heart because of Michael or the whole Schumacher family. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Ralf [Michael’s brother] was in a DTM [car] for a long time for us, his son races Mercedes in GTs, and Mick is an intelligent, well-mannered young man. <\/span><\/p>\n

“He’s been very successful in junior formulas. We believe that we can look after him if the situation were to happen and with someone that just fits the team.<\/span><\/p>\n

“But we haven’t really put pen to paper, we haven’t really come anywhere close to any terms. I think he just fits and now we need to make it happen, if he wants to, Sabine [Kehm, Schumacher’s manager] wants to and then we see we see where that goes to.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Schumacher said: “Mercedes is an awesome brand. What they’ve achieved in F1 is incredible so for sure I’m looking at all options and Mercedes is part of that.<\/span><\/p>\n

“My dad did the switch from Ferrari to Mercedes at the time. I don’t see any reason why not now but I have time now so I will consider all the options I have to then make the right decision for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

“But it’s definitely very humbling to hear what Mercedes – and especially Toto – says about me.”<\/span><\/p>\n
