If there is one thing every F1 driver knows not to do, it is to have an accident in Free Practice 3, because it means complicating his participation in Saturday’s qualifying and placing more emphasis on the mechanics, which must race to fix the car at speed But Logan Sargeant did it again.
The American driver took out another Williams, and this time the damage was huge, in the millions, when he crashed at turn 4 of the Zandvoort Circuit, at the 2024 F1 Netherlands GP.
The American driver, who will not continue with Williams due to his poor performance and the high cost to the team due to his many accidents, made a big mistake by riding on the piano and grass in wet conditions, something that is not must be done because that is synonymous with an accident.
As expected after touching the grass, Sargeant lost control of his car and crashed on the outside wall of Turn 4. Fortunately, he was able to get out of the car on his own when he saw the rear of the car. the fire started.
Now, the Williams mechanics have to try to repair the car due to the extensive damage the car has sustained, with the rear end completely destroyed. Maybe the chassis can be saved, but possibly not the gearbox and the engine. All this, with the hands of the clock counting the minutes without stopping. Your goal is to arrive on time at 3:00 pm, sorting time.
The gravity is greater if we consider that he did it in a Williams debuting its evolutions at Zandvoort. Many millions were wasted on new parts a week before another Grand Prix, at Monza.
