Next Grand Prix
Williams has dropped Logan Sargeant with immediate effect and will
replace him with its academy driver Franco Colapinto for the remainder
of the Formula 1 season.

Sargeant had already lost his drive for 2025 as Williams is bringing in
Carlos Sainz - but the American's place even for the remainder of the
year has been the subject of scrutiny at various points in 2024. -----
