i think franco did a wonderful job today !! he absolutely killed it and he should be proud of himself . i'm genuinely really glad to see that he's being treated well by williams and is getting the support a driver needs and deserves in this sport .

i also think what should be remembered is that logan didn't get to drive the same car franco is driving right now . and on top of that , jv's "support" of logan this year has been incredible fake and killed logan's confidence . he quite honestly didn't have a proper support system within that team .

franco is driving the williams car with all the upgrades , the same one alex has . logan was forced to drive a car with parts from 2023 . both the front wing and rear wing were from 2023 . a car that was overweight by 15 kilos (33 lbs) . a car that was already bad and only was made worse by the fact that it didn't have the same upgrades as alex did . a car that was absolutely impossible to drive and constantly had problems -- remember how often logan's steering wheel was messed up ??

logan's possibilities of an amazing performance were overshadowed by a car that would get upgrades only to have them promptly taken away . they were overshadowed by the fact that no one -- not even the goddamn commentators , whose JOB is to do the research that we are doing -- could properly do their research on what kind of a tractor logan was driving . everyone was under the immediate impression that logan had the same car as alex when that was the furthest thing from the truth .

and now franco is driving a car that is , indeed , finally equal to alex's car . a car that finally has all the upgrades . of course it's amazing that he's matching alex's pace and i am genuinely so happy for him for that ! but it should also be remembered that he's driving a car that is leagues better from what logan had to drive .

the way that everyone is automatically turning around to talk bad about logan and say "look !! look !! this guy is doing better than logan ever could do !! see !! logan does suck !!" is unfair to logan and shows a lack of proper research . it's truly gobsmacking to see how everyone jumps on the logan hate train and yet they refuse to do any substantial research to understand that logan was driving in a car that no driver could possibly succeed in .

i truly do hope that people realize in the future , specifically the near future , that logan was not treated properly this year . that people realize how logan was constantly given a shit hand and told to make something out of it when that was impossible considering the state the car -- and the team , i mean look at how they messed up with alex today ??? -- was in .

like don't even get me started on how williams messed up with alex today . that was just embarrassing on the team's end . absolutely insane what these drivers have to deal with .

i miss him y'all 😭

every time i see a video or picture or gif of logan sargeant it feels like im reminiscing upon my dead wife and the joy we used to share before she was so cruelly taken from the world

[loganswdc]

Are we ever going to get to a point in this sport where a driver can discuss mental health issues and not be ridiculed for it, or called weak?

Every time a driver has spoken out about their mental health issues, yes there has been some support but the majority of responses seem to be people taking the piss, it happened to JEV, Bottas, Rosberg, Ricciardo, among others.

If someone mentions an issue, they aren’t doing it to garner sympathy, they aren’t weak for bringing it up, and keeping this mentality is just going to prevent people, men and boys particularly, from speaking up about their issues

REALLLL like we'd actually cease to exist if he had no fans ‼️ <33

IF THIS MAN HAS NO FANS IM SIMPLY DEAD

[loganswdc]

i truly hope j*mes aeiou gets a huge wakeup call someday soon . the way he treated logan was absolutely disgusting and i don't understand how anyone can look at how logan was treated and think it was okay .

JV needs to takes notes

FOLLOWING MY POST ABOUT THE LOGAN NEWS I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY HE POSTED A LETTER ON HIS SITE SAYING THANK YOU WILLIAMS FOR GIVING HIM HIS FIRST OPPORTUNITY IN F1 AND THEN HE DELETED IT . LOGAN . WHAT ARE YOU COOKING .

[loganswdc]

so williams has replaced logan . james made the move , and replaced logan as has been rumoured this whole year .

here are my thoughts .

firstly , i'd like to say that logan never had the opportunity to show his talents . i feel like the first time we truly saw what logan could do was in las vegas last year , when he qualified p7 . that felt like logan , like his true capabilities . since then he hasn't been given the tools necessary to improve or to do well in f1 . in some way , good that they dropped him , because they only kept pushing his head further under the water as the season went on . he's been treated awfully this entire season and i think everyone can see that ,, especially after australia .

secondly , congratulations to franco , though i don't know how good of an idea it was to sign a driver in his rookie year of f2 . i don't know much about fraco , but i do hope this won't be another logan situation .

on that note , i think this was probably the most idiotic move that james could have ever made . replacing logan , who was shoved into f1 way too early , with a driver just halfway through his rookie season in formula 2 isn't going to go well , in my opinion . they're looking for an ollie bearman situation , but the problem is that ollie was driving a ferrari whereas franco will be driving a williams . and williams has such a bad car that it's quite honestly offensive to cars everywhere to call that thing a car .

i was also told by my mom who saw an article about the news that they replaced logan because of the damage costs from crashes , and that updates were constantly behind because of "all the damage logan caused throughout the year" which is funny considering that the majority of damage this year was due to alex's crash in australia and then the crash alex had following that in suzuka with daniel . i love alex so much and i will always root for him but the damages from those two crashes were major . hence , them being behind on the budget because of those two crashes . that's not to say logan didn't crash and add to that , but the majority of the budget problems did come from the crashes in australia and suzuka when you think about it . so to say that they dropped logan because of the crash in the netherlands feels so utterly idiotic to me .

i genuinely feel like this wasn't very well thought out and that , in some way , because mercedes and redbull were so quick to tell james oh yeah we'll give you our reserve drivers then james was under the impression that he should / it's okay for him to replace logan all of the sudden . but the truth is that it isn't okay and the way he's treated logan since the end of last year to now is awful . it's like he only viewed logan as a seat-warmer for the love of his life carlos sainz .

to which i say that i have a lot of thoughts on how james talks about carlos and how weird and absolutely unprofessional it is . like it's genuinely getting so weird how he talks about carlos and the fact james' wife was concerned.... but that's for another post !!

all in all i am absolutely devastated for logan . when i found out i was walking to my next class and started hyperventilating so hard i nearly passed out in the middle of the courtyard 😭 i've been on and off crying literally all day and this news was the worst . and it's literally my birthday tomorrow which made it so much worse . i think that in the end we have to wait and see and perhaps we'll find that this was a good thing for logan , that he'll be able to go somewhere where he is truly appreciated and can show how talented he is .

i don't think logan would see my silly rants on here but if he does for whatever reason then i hope he knows that he's loved and appreciated . that we'll always support him and stand by him . he will forever and always be my favorite driver , no matter where he goes .

i'll still be posting about logan on here , perhaps just news that i find in the coming weeks or when we find out where logan is going then i'll post about that . or i'll just be posting cutie patootie photos of logan i find on pinterest :)

sending love to all my fellow logan fans and my dms are always open to anyone who wants to talk / rant about this <3

hate will not be tolerated in the replies and i will be removing / blocking anyone who sends hateful messages . this is not a time to be a dick , it's a time to show support for a driver who did everything he could with that car .

[loganswdc]

hi y'all after a super long hiatus i come with the news that apparently logan was at the eras tour with riley on london night 8 aka the same night taylor played florida!!! ft. florence & the machine .

i am so unwell . she actually played that for him . no bc i'm genuinely near tears that makes me so sad but also so happy and i'm so . MY HEART Y'ALL .

[loganswdc]

this was so beautifully written and i truly hope everyone takes a second out of their days to read this !! <3

Let's talk about Logan.

It's most definitely not his fault. He wasn't ready. He isn't ready. Maybe if he had had another year, we would be looking at the future of F1, but a combination of James and Williams American Sponsors left Logan with one opportunity that he was never going to get ever again.

It's devastating, and it's tragic, and it is reality.

Logan Sargeant deserved a real, fair chance in F1. Williams wasn't that. Not with the TP crooning about the first driver constantly, about how the first driver is going to be the one the team focuses on.

But he gives Logan a second chance.

Or, rather, based on what has been coming out of late, the American Sponsors give him another chance. And in retaliation, the TP spends the entirety of the rest of the season essentially making it clear to everyone that while Logan has the second seat, he was never James's first choice.

So be it.

But what the Williams team weren't prepared for is the fact that the American Sponsors weren't wrong for keeping Logan in the seat for another year. Just on here and even on Instagram (screw X, the demon child), the support, if anything, grew.

Because you talk about dignity and then you take away his car.

You talk about skill and then the driver you replace him with doesn't score points.

You talk about talent, but the driver you're replacing him with has been in Red Bulls and Ferraris. One would hope that he is skilled.

You don't talk about the fact that the whole world is watching you publicly embarrass someone whom you yourself say you have a "duty of care" for.

You don't talk about the fact that maybe Logan would have stood a chance if the Feedback actually came from you instead of the pretty little sentence on the radio at the end.

So unfortunately, but realistically, Logan Sargeant is out of F1.

But his legacy will live on. He is the first American to score points in 30 years. He is the reason people on this website and across the media were able to clock that Mr. Nice Guy is just a very good act.

He's the reason so many Americans did start tuning in.

He's one of the reasons that the conversation about the way drivers are treated in this sport is a conversation that isn't going away.

It's not the legacy he had in mind, but it is an important one.

So thank you, Logan, for paving the way. You're in the record books, and we appreciate what it took for you to get there.
