Williams’ US star Logan Sargeant says he feels “better”
psychologically ahead of this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix after being forced
to miss the last race in Australia.
With the team without a spare chassis in Melbourne, Williams
team principal James Vowles made the tough decision to withdraw Sargeant from
the Australian GP after team-mate Alex Albon’s heavy crash in opening practice
at Albert Park.

Vowles’ call split opinion, with some accusing the Williams
team boss of running the risk of destroying Sargeant’s confidence.
Others – including Sky F1 commentator Martin Brundle –
described the decision as a “no brainer” with Albon the more likely of the two
to score points in Australia. The Thai driver went on to finish 11th, just
missing out on a point.
Ahead of his return to action at Suzuka this weekend,
Sargeant has revealed he is in a better headspace for the Japanese GP.
