Logan Sargeant will take time to "consider his options" having been dismissed by the Williams F1 team mid-season.
Williams boss James Vowles elected to replace the under-performing Sargeant ahead of the Italian Grand Prix in favour of Academy driver Franco Colapinto, likely bringing to an end Sargeant's grand prix career.
In 36 starts, Sargeant scored only one point - at the 2023 United States GP - and never out-qualified Alex Albon in a grand prix, with a best finish of 11th at Silverstone in the 14 2024 races he competed in.
Sargeant already knew he would be leaving the team at the end of the season after it signed Carlos Sainz for 2025, but his tenure has ended early in favour of Argentine Colapinto - the 777th driver in F1 world championship history.
Reflecting on the end of his time at Williams, Sargeant issued a since-deleted message on his app, which is available below.

Logan Sargeant statement via his app, since-deleted
Hi everyone,
After today's news, I wanted to say that I am super thankful to Williams Racing for giving me my first opportunity in Formula 1.
I am so grateful for the support I received from everyone at the team from the moment I first joined the Academy back in 2021.
Going on to drive an F1 car for the first time in Abu Dhabi was the experience of a lifetime, while becoming the first American points scorer for 30 years in Austin last season was a really special moment.
I am proud to have represented such a historic team over the last two seasons. For now, I will be taking time to assess my options, before making an announcement on my future in due course.
Thank you.
