Sergeant already raced in Las Vegas: 'Special to return there'

Logan Sargeant seems to have found the speed at the right time. After a mediocre period, the American has been reasonably competitive at recent Grands Prix. In Austin recently - partly thanks to two disqualifications - he even managed to score his first points in Formula 1. In his native country, the Williams driver will hunt for more points next weekend.

Formula 1 is booming in the United States. The popularity of the sport has also been the catalyst behind a third Grand Prix in the country, after the Circuit of the Americas and Miami. Although Las Vegas will be unlike any other race, simply because it is in Las Vegas: a race held in the (cold) evening, with the legendary Strip as its backdrop.

Busy days await Sargeant

Logan Sargeant is already looking forward to the expected spectacle. "Well, that's going to be a busy one for me for sure. We already have a lot of media lined up. But other than that, we have already done our work on the sim, which is nice to have already been able to do that. I’ll go back do a little bit more after this weekend. And then just, yeah, get ready. Relax, go through the normal routine."

For Formula 1, it has been a long time since there was a Grand Prix in Las Vegas. Sargeant did race in the city before, though. "It's going to be cool because I raced in Vegas multiple times in karting as a kid. So to be able to go back there and race in F1 is going to be a special weekend."
