Logan Sargeant's career as a Formula 1 driver is coming to an end as he will be replaced at Williams from next year by Ferrari's Carlos Sainz. 

As Sargeant began his final half as a Williams F1 driver it started in the most disastrous way possible as the American lost control of his Williams over the wet grass and crashed into the barriers at high speed. The impact was so massive that Logan Sargeant's car completely dismantled the barriers and caught fire as it blew up.
