MUST-SEE: Massive crash for Sargeant in Zandvoort FP3 sees his upgraded Williams catch fire

Logan Sargeant brought out the red flags in Free Practice 3 for the Dutch Grand Prix with a huge crash into the barriers at Turn 4, with the impact seeing his Williams FW46 catch fire – although the American driver was fortunately unharmed in the accident.

Sargeant came into the Dutch Grand Prix weekend with a cloud hanging over him, after finding out that he would be replaced at Williams by Carlos Sainz for 2025.

But his mood wouldn’t have been improved after he appeared to run onto the grass at the exit of Zandvoort’s Turn 3 in damp conditions, spinning his Williams into the barriers – a doubly painful impact for the team, given that the car was sporting a host of upgraded parts.

“I’m okay,” Sargeant thankfully reported over team radio – before his Williams team urged him to exit the cockpit quick-smart, as TV images showed the rear of the car catching fire.
