The Williams team has formally confirmed that Logan Sargeant is moving to F1 next season, where he will become Alex Albon's teammate. At Williams, his arrival was announced even before the young racer fulfilled the conditions for the superlicense, which is necessary for participation in F1, and he confirmed this formality at the last F2 race in Abu Dhabi, where he finished in fourth place.
