Logan Sargeant will take his place on the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix after being granted permission to race by the stewards. He was 38.1S behind the second slowest car of Lando Norris.39.7S down on pace-setter Max Verstappen. His second attempt was over when he spun at the high-speed Turn 22.
The FIA does not delete lap times for track limit abuse during each of the three practice sessions before qualifying. A high-speed spin at the newly-reprofiled turn 22-23 chicane destroyed his chances on one set of soft tyres, before his final attempt was curtailed by contact with the wall.
A domino effect through the 2023 driver line-up saw rookies Oscar Piastri, Nyck de Vries and Logan Sargeant get their first chances. Ricciardo chose to take a third driver role at red bull this season, while Vettel chose to retire after representing aston Martin.
The new FW45 has proved more stable and allowed Albon to bank a point in 10th in the season-opener in Bahrain. Rookie team-mate Logan Sargeant also impressed with 12th. But the team still knew which areas to target to find immediate lap time gains if it sticks to developing the car.
Max Verstappen won a record 15 grands prix out of 22 on his way to a second world championship. He will now be required to pay the highest Super Licence fee in f1 2023 history, plus €2,100 for every point scored in the season just gone. At the other end of the scale is rookies Oscar Piastri and Logan Sargeant, plus the returning Nico Hulkenberg.
Nicholas Latifi was the sole pay-driver on the 2022 grid last season. He was replaced by Logan Sargeant, a Williams academy driver and a young upstart. But if it wasn't for this, the F1 grid will not have a pay driver on the grid.
Logan Sargeant will make his full-time debut as Nicholas Latifi's replacement at Williams in 2023. The american driver was inspired by the title fight between Hamilton and Felipe Massa in 2008. He will have to compete against Alexander Albon next year.
Nyck de Vries will race for AlphaTauri in 2023 with Yuki Tsunoda. De Vries made his F1 debut as a stand-in for Alex Albon at Monza in September. Oscar Piastri, Logan Sargeant and Lando Norris will also make their debut. The only F1 team name change between 2022 and 2023 comes at Haas.
Logan Sargeant is one of the new drivers joining the F1 grid in 2023. The 21-year-old will be joining the Williams team as he replaces Nicholas Latifi.

Alexander Rossi has compared Logan Sargeant's route to F1 with that of Colton Herta. The 21-year-old Floridian moved to Europe to race in karts at the age of eight and has spent much of his formative years on that continent. Herta had been hoping to move to Formula 1 with a Michael Andretti-operated team, either via a takeover or as a brand new constructor, which has yet to materialise. Rossi believes Herta deserves to get the nod to get into F1.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen has won back-to-back F1 world titles with Red Bull Racing. The Dutchman first claimed #1 after winning last year's world title in Abu Dhabi and used it for the 2022 world championship. The 2023 newcomers Nyck de Vries and Logan Sargeant have not confirmed which race numbers they will use in their rookie campaigns.
