truly , they are acting like his biggest fans with how often they have to mention him , how often they need to compare him to franco . and i find it ridiculous how its their job to comment on the sport and bring up important information to fans and yet the refuse to acknowledge the fact that franco is driving a completely different car than the one logan was driving .

just my two cents on today's quali . it was quite infuriating to watch how they continously had to bring logan up into the conversation only for them to tear him to pieces . it's ridiculous , disgusting , and quite honestly it's starting to become unprofessional . just leave him alone , there is truly no need to continue to talk about him in such a poor manner .

daniel sitting in his car for a while after the race ended to savour the moment , because this is likely the last time he'll be in formula 1 . his team applauding him as he returns to hospitality , lined up to the entrance like some final hurrah . him crying during the post-race interviews , and his goodbye practically being a tv pen interview ? it's all just so ... reminiscent of what happened to logan , in a way . and i hate that this is happening another driver .

like , again , am i a fan of daniel ? no , and my opinion of him changed to mostly indifference after the start of this year with horner . but is this entire thing sad and really messed up ? yes , absolutely !

human to human i have sympathy for this man and i empathize with him . no driver should have to reach for the end of a season , just 8 more races left , hoping to get through it and keep their seat at least to the end of the season , only to have that completely crushed and get dropped . like i said before , as a logan fan , it's really upsetting . seeing my driver dropped in that way was awful . seeing how he was treated by his team and the whole lead up to his being dropped was a feeling i wish no other driver's fan would feel . and yet , here we are , with another driver being treated the same way . and again , you don't have to be a fan of daniel to realize that this is fucked up . and it's such a deja-vu moment of what happened with logan that i honestly feel sick .

truly , it's sad , and i do hope the rumours aren't true for the sake of the dreams of the little boy wanting to get into f1 . the dreams of a kid who did so much in the sport during his early years , coming to such a devastating end . for the sake of the dreams and health , especially mental , of another human being .

So like, I think what non Logan Sargeant fans don’t really see about this situation is that most understand that Logan is not performing well enough to get another seat. Like, it sucks, but after 2023 I don’t think anyone would have been SURPRISED if he hadn’t gotten a second year. It would have been sad, sure — it’s always sad when young talent loses out on their life dream — but not surprising.

The point is that how Williams has handled him has been shit from day 1. They moved him up from F2 before he was ready. That had consequences. He couldn’t handle the car differences and it was too big of a shift. He was shot in the foot.

What is sad about this is that he COULD have been something. He COULD have performed well and maybe made it farther than 2024 but his potential was clipped.

They shouldn’t have kept promising him a chance when 2024 came running around. Like I’ve seen other people say, it is not about feelings, it is about respect. It is about courtesy and most importantly PROFESSIONALISM.

I’m a cooperate girlie. The way Vowles has been handling this whole mess has been needlessly messy. The things he has said and continues to say about Sainz is downright unprofessional and creepy. He all but begged on his knees to the press for him and then every single detail about the behind the scenes just gets worse.

Logan NEVER had a chance. He was given a heavier car with parts from 2023. The weekend where his teammate screws up and he doesn’t, his car gets taken away. Then he doesn’t even get it back. He only JUST got an equal car to his teammate and yet he was expected to perform better? It is blatantly unfair. They set him up to fail because him staying had never been an option. They started talking with Sainz before they resigned Logan. Like that’s CRAZY.

It was such a disservice of them to do this. Everything about it was manipulative and unprofessional. This is not how you treat employees — mind you, a driver from Williams’ driver academy at that. It is disrespectful. The way they handled Sainz’ announcement was horrific in every way. Like every other team managed a better job at saying farewell to their CURRENTLY STILL EMPLOYED DRIVER.

Meanwhile Vowles is threatening every week that Logan will lose his seat mid season. It’s ridiculous and that should NOT have been told to the press at all. It looks like Vowles has no media training which is ridiculous. THIS is the image they want to portray? It’s sick. These are not the games that should have been played. It leaves Williams looking awful, and Logan’s reputation permanently affected.

They hid how they borderline sabotaged him so now it looks like his skill alone is what caused the issues with his performances. This is horrifically damaging to his chances at a future contract with ANYONE.

Duracell: Goodbye Logie, u gave your all

The World: Goodbye Logie, u gave your all

You fuck over a driver who it's clear you didn't like, I mean (and correct me if I'm wrong) rejected from the junior program of your previous. You bring him up too early and have him in a terrible car and act like he should be on par with his veteran teammate. You say you support, but show you don't every step of the way. Rumors are constant and you keep talking about replacing him to media. You take on a new driver and he gets a million posts and you talk about him like he's your one true love, while the driver leaving gets ONE post with like two sentences AFTER the signing announcement. Then you fire your driver one race after the summer break and replace him with an F2 rookie, repeating the cycle.

THEN, then, you insult him and you insult Mick Schumacher. Calling him not special. Which is shitty to do regardless of thoughts of his ability.

Jost Capito did. He saw something in Logan that he thought was promising and could help build Williams back into what it used to be.

His last words to Williams before departing was, "Don't pressure him, and results will come."

Excuse me???? What utter bullshit is that? There are no limits to what someone can achieve that can be set by someone else. It is up to that person to decide what they can and can't achieve.

That should be Logan's choice if he believes he's reached his potential, not a biased boss who has treated him like a science experiment on the effects of rushing f2 drivers into f1 and then watching them fall without being there to pick them up and instead laughing at them and leaving them behind.

And then comes along Franco Colapinto who is being treated in the exact same way. (Plus the added disrespect of spelling his fucking NAME wrong?!?! How the fuck does someone fuck that up so spectacularly?)

When is Williams and James Vowles going to stop this horrible cycle of fulfilling an f2 driver's hopes and dreams of driving in f1 only to drop them like they're something to be used when they don't fulfil their idea of what they want.

Franco has got 9 races and then what? As people are pointing out, Williams' seats are filled for a few years so what's going to happen to Franco? Will he just be discarded like Logan because there's very few ways for him to be able to stay in f1 and that's heartbreaking because they've given him a wonderful opportunity but hidden inside it the potential ruin of his f1 career.

Williams and Vowles have made a lot of mistakes when it comes to handling this situation and a lot of people are angry on behalf of the drivers they are fucking over with their frankly selfish choices.

I've reposted others posts on it and now I've finally spoken on it myself.

I'm heartbroken for both Logan and Franco. Williams can't seem to stop talking about it and instead of apologising for the handling of this, they are digging themselves deeper and deeper into a hole that's going to end up with so much criticism and anger so they need to get their shit together.

Now Williams Racing is prematurely promoting Franco Colapinto to Formula 1 because they wanted Logan Sargeant gone.

The days of Williams being able to paint the team as one big happy family are long gone. It’s a toxic cycle of failing their own academy drivers … especially since Franco will only have the opportunity to drive 9 races for the team and then both of their full-time seat will be filled until 2026 at earliest.
