Why Sargeant was merely collateral in F1's fierce fight for sixth

On balance, Williams' decision to bump Logan Sargeant out of his car for the rest of the Australia Formula 1 weekend after FP2, favouring Alex Albon despite his FP1 crash, was probably the right call - at least, from a calculated, numbers-driven point of view. It didn't quite pay off, but backing the driver who has been overwhelmingly stronger over their season-and-a-bit together gave the team a chance at a circuit that Albon has been historically good at.

From a man management perspective, it was a disaster. Maybe Sargeant will thrive on that perception of adversity, but Williams will certainly need to pay the American back handsomely in order to thank him for his selflessness.
