The 21-year-old American emerged as the prime candidate to replace 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nicholas Latifi at the team next season after 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nyck de Vries was signed by AlphaTauri to fill the seat vacated by Alpine-bound 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pierre Gasly. 

Sa♏rgeant, who is a member of the Williams Academy, has established himself as a fr𒆙ontrunner in his rookie F2 season and has claimed two feature race victories at Silverstone and the Red Bull Ring. 

He now appears set to become the fi🌸rst American driver to race in F1 since Alexander Rossi’s five-race cameo with Manor in 2015. 

Williams chief Capito teased the prospect of Sargeant being announced as 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Albon’s teammate for next season during this weekend’s168澳洲5最新开奖结果: United States Grand Prix. 

During a fan Q&A on Friday, Capito was asked when he thinks an American driver could next be seen on tꦦhe F1 grid.

He responded: “Follow the news and you might see something on ♍Saturday.”&nb𒅌sp;

Given the location of this weekend’s🐻 race, such an announcement would be an ideal marketing opportunity, one day after Sarg🧸eant made his practice debut with Williams. 

However, Sargeant has not yet se🧸cured the FIA super licenc🥂e points he requires in order to race in F1 next year.

Sargeant - who sits third in the F2 standings - currently needs a top-five finish in the championship by the end of next month’s season finale in Abu Dhabi to guarantee a superlicence🎶. 

Because he completed over 100km of running in his FP1 appearance at COTA, Sargeant𒊎 earned one more superlicence point, moving him onto 28 of the required 40. 

Providing he has a clean final round, Sargeant would also pick up two more superlicence points ༒for not being hit with any penalt♕y points in 2022. 

In that scenario, a top-six finish in the F2 championship would be eno﷽ugh for Sargeant.
