The Dutch Grand Prix showed that all racers are ready for the second part of the 2024 Formula One Season. Lando Norris won the race with a gap of more than 20 seconds to Max Verstappen. Now he is only 70 points away from taking the lead in the Driver’s championship! However, the fight in front of the race is not all that is happening in F1. Williams announced after the race that they’re having a driver switch. Franco Colapinto is taking over from Logan Sargeant! The decision is effective immediately and one of their drivers won’t be in a car in the next Grand Prix!
Logan Sargeant Get’s The Boot For Causing Too Much Damage!
After de disastrous weekend of Logan Sargeant, Williams F1 decided that it was time to make some drastic changes to the team. The 23-year-old American driver has caused the most amount of damage in the 2023 season and was definitely on his way to being the driver with the most amount of damage in 2024 as well. The cherry on top was when he crashed his car in the free practice rounds of the Netherlands Grand Prix, causing him not being able to participate in qualifying! If you can’t remember the other crashes he was involved in, or can’t imagine the total costs of his crashes, make sure to watch the following video!
Franco Colapinto Take Over For The Rest Of The Season
Williams already has someone lined up to keep the seat warm for Carlos Sainz in 2025. Franco Colapinto will take over the reign of the racecar for the rest of the season. He is a driver from the Williams racing programme and already had success in Formula 2! However, success in Formula 2 doesn’t guarantee success in Formula One!
This is a rare opportunity for a driver like Franco. It is rare that seats open up in the middle of the season. Carlos Sainz is finishing the season with Ferrari, before taking over from Franco in 2025! The first race where Franco can show his skills will be next week in the Italian Grand Prix
