an introduction to the alex and logan teammate dynamic

[sargeantposting]

Alex: You two, I didn't know this, I actually– so, funny story about this. Um, I'm always on Youtube during– uh, not, not doing it during meetings, but for most of the time–

Logan: He’s always on it.

Oscar: You’re always on Youtube. Alright.

Alex: I’m messing around. 

Logan: He’s photoshopping things– 

Alex: My suggested videos coming up right now on my, on my work laptop, back at the race track is Formula Four from when you guys were racing. So, I get these recommended races from Knockhill of you two going at it. But you two have been teammates, you–

Logan: Multiple times. 

Alex: Were you teammates in Formula 4 as well? 

Logan: Ricky Flynn. 

Oscar: Ricky Flynn, but you were in Seniors and I was in Juniors.

Alex: Ricky Flynn is karting, by the way. [...] That’s a fast karting name, though. Ricky Flynn Motorsports. 

Logan: It’s good.

Alex: It’s a good one. Who won out of you two in karting?

Logan: Well, he was in–

Oscar: Logan.

Logan: Did I? 

Oscar: I was in Juniors and he was in Seniors. 

Alex: What’s the age gap between you?

Oscar: Like six months. But–

Logan: Yeah, what were you doing, mate? [Laughs.]

Oscar: He won the World Championship and then went to Seniors and I stayed in Juniors.

Alex: Big dog Logs. And then Formula 4?

Logan: Formula 4. So, that was really tight. 

Oscar: That was really tight.

Logan: Wait, there is a good story about this actually. Um, there was a bit of a–

Alex: Beef? Beef?

Oscar: There was a bit of beef, not between us–

Logan: No! Not between us.

Oscar: But between our teams. 

Alex: Really? Oh, so you weren’t in the same team?

Oscar: We weren’t on the same team. 

Logan: There were some team tactics– that I was not part of– that were going down in the last race of the season. 

Alex: I should sit down. I should get some coffee.

Oscar: And, um, yeah, it got a bit fiery. 

Alex: Well, come on. You’ve got to tell us. Gotta tell the fans.

Logan: Well, I’ll let Oscar tell. 

Oscar: There’s been a few flash points. 

Logan: Let's just say, let's just say he was getting held up massively. Like, backed up.

Alex: Your teammate?

Oscar: Like Checo Abu Dhabi 2021 kind of thing. 

Alex: Like Magnussen?

Oscar: Yeah, like Magnussen in Jeddah, yeah, that kind of thing.

Logan: I was driving off in the distance and then I shunted it on my own. Didn’t matter in the end. But, it was actually going to be really close. 

Alex: You know what? You know what I find crazy about that stuff is, I mean, these kids are paying serious money in F4. So why would you do team orders for your team? 

Oscar: Well, he'd already won.

Logan: He’d already won the championship.

Oscar: So we were fighting for second in the championship. 

Logan: And he didn't tell me he was going to do this. He just went out there and did it. 

Oscar: Yeah. So he won with like a race to go. This was for P2 in the Championship. And, yeah. It got a bit fiery. 

Logan: You know Jamie [Caroline].

Alex: Oh, he is fiery. What does he do now? 

Logan: Um. Is he still racing? I don't think so. I'm not sure.

Oscar: I haven't heard anything since. 

Alex: He must be watching this and going fuck these boys in F1 and I'm here. I don't know what you're doing, Jamie. But, but obviously, um, you should be here, you should be driving a Red Bull.

Logan: And then, yeah, of course, our battle in F3. 

Oscar: Yeah.

Logan: That went down to the wire. Last race of the year.

Alex: I was watching that. I think that I was in, I think I was in F1 at the time. 

Logan: Yeah, that was your Red Bull season.

Oscar: 2020.

Alex: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And you guys were, um– 

Logan: And I shunt it again in the last race.

Alex: Did you?

Oscar: It’s like a theme here.

Logan: This one wasn't my fault though.

Oscar: Yeah, that one wasn't your fault. 

Alex: So, last race. I'm gonna give you some extra room. Just wait for it to come. Good. Well, um. You guys clearly have some history.

Oscar: Mm. 

Alex: Does that mean you guys must be– well, you guys are pretty close off-track. 

Oscar: Yeah.

Alex: You guys came into F1 at the same time as well. 

Oscar: Yep. 

Alex: Good. That's good. That's really nice. That's really sweet.

Oscar: Yeah.

Alex: Um, right.

Logan: It's like you with, you know, Lando.

Alex: Yeah, I could see that, I could see that. But even for us, I don't think I was that– we weren't teammates all that close throughout our kind of rise up because Lando came in super quickly. I was the slowest and then George was like somewhere in the middle. So. we kind of like–  Lando is still, what is it? Three years younger than I am? Two years younger than me? Three? At least. 

Oscar: Ok, so there you go. 

Alex: Yeah. Nice. Nice.

Logan: Next topic?

Oscar: Yeah.

Alex: Good. Well, um. You guys clearly have some history. Oscar: Mm. Alex: Does that mean you guys must be-- well, you guys are pretty close off-track. Oscar: Yeah. Alex: You guys came into F1 at the same time as well. Oscar: Yep. Alex: Good. That's good. That's really nice. That's really sweet. Oscar: Yeah.

[sargeantposting]

Oscar: Hang on, I've got a-- off topic. When do you reckon Cars came out? Logan: 2000. Alex: No. 2000..... 11. Logan: No way. Oscar: 2006. I was five when that movie came out. Ridiculous. 18 years ago. Logan: Lightning McQueen slapped. Oscar: He did. I even had the video game Cars. I had everything. Alex: Did you guys have a crush on the-- on Sally? Oscar: Who? Logan: On what? Alex: [Stammering] On the girl. On the blue Porsche. Logan: That would be you. Alex: No, it's not me. No, no no. I just-- I just wanted just to, just to see. Cause you were so young-- Logan: Yeah, but you love a blue Porsche. Alex: I do.

Logan in a 2023 Q&A for the Miami Grand Prix:

Alex: No specific lucky charms underwear? Logan: No. I used to. Not anymore. Oscar: You used to until it didn't work and you went, oh, [makes dismissive sound]. Logan: Yeah, I was like, gotta get over that. [...] Logan: One day I put on my lucky ones and buried it in the wall and I was like, alright. It's not working. They gotta go.

Alex: How is, slash, was everyone's week in China so far? What have you been up to? What's been the general vibes of China? Have you guys just been in the hotel room the whole time? Logan: Well.. we arrived on the same flight. Oscar: Yeah, we were on the same flight. Alex: Did you travel together? Sleep together? [Looks at camera.] Oscar: We were in the same row, actually… Alex: Were you?

[sargeantposting]

"Now, Logan's backing me up so--" "I know, I know. I've chosen the wrong, the wrong-- These two are a tag team. They've got themselves fully up each other's, um, whatever you want to call it."

A little earlier in the F2 season, we caught up with Williams Racing Academy Driver Logan Sargeant.

Wanting to get to know him just a little bit better, and with a big date in Austin now on the horizon, we tasked him with answering 22 questions about racing and life in general.

Here’s what he had to say…

What race day rituals do you have?

If weekends are going well, I tend to stick with the same underwear for each day. Before you worry, they’re different pairs! I have a Friday, Saturday, Sunday set. But if it’s not going well, I have to make a change!

What's your go-to coffee order?

Latte, but it's a double espresso before quali.

What's the inspiration behind your racing number?

This year it’s six because I can’t choose in F2, but when I am allowed to pick, it would be No3. Three for Dale Earnhardt, an all-out American hero.

Your favourite drink?

I’ve only just turned 21… but it’s water, of course.

If you had to cook one main course to impress a loved one, what would it be?

Oooo… I’m not much of a cook, but I can tell you what I would order in! I love a good prime rib.

What’s your favourite film?

Love the Jump Streets, but I’ve got a lot of time for Step Brothers. But if I had to choose out of the two, I’d go Jump Streets. I suppose I have to choose which one?! But 21 and 22 are both pretty good. Ah, I can’t decide.

Who is the toughest rival you've come up against so far?

It’s got to be the battle in Formula 3 between myself and Oscar Piastri.

Your favourite cheat meal?

Fortunately I have a quick metabolism, so they come relatively often… my American roots mean it would have to be a nice, juicy burger.

How many attempts did it take to pass your driving test?

Just one, which is apparently pretty rare for racing drivers! That’s including the practical and the theory.

Which track are you most looking forward to in 2022?

It’s got to be Monaco, but I’m looking forward to seeing the F1 team in Miami.

You can choose one song only to listen to before a race, what is it?

Lose Yourself - Eminem.

Is there one circuit not on your calendar that you'd love to race at?

Obviously it’s either Miami or Austin; to have a home race would be amazing. That said, I’d love to race at Suzuka some day.

Who is your favourite sports team outside of F1?

Anything Miami! We’re talking Heat, Dolphins, Marlins, Inter Miami… they’ve all got my support.

Least favourite exercise your trainer set for you in the offseason?

I’d say it’s got to be all the extra cardio I had to do to get ready for F2.

What's a better feeling, nailing a quali lap or executing a late overtake?

I saw what Nicky and Alex said to this answer and I have to agree. Nailing a quali lap all day long. It’s my favourite part of a weekend, I love putting it all on the line.

Is there anyone you idolised when growing up?

In racing, my first hero when I was a kid was, funnily enough, Jeff Gordon. I just loved watching him and the way he fought on track.

Favourite sport that's not F1?

At the moment, I’d have to say NFL. But it switches between that and the NBA.

If you could invite anyone in the world to a dinner party, which three people would you choose and why?

I would invite Leo DiCaprio, I feel he’s kind of cool. Then let’s also invite Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt. Let’s make it an A-List movie night!

What is your favourite Grand Prix?

Well, I could be biased and say Austin. I mean, how can you argue against 450,000 fans across the three days last year? That was pretty awesome. But I’ve got to say I love Silverstone as well.

What's been your favourite moment of your career so far?

My rookie race in Macau where I finished third. Definitely, 100%, hands down my favourite track in the world.

One word to describe how you're feeling about the 2022 season?

Confident.

One word that best describes Williams Racing to you?

Supportive.
