    This says a lot about how Williams sees Sargeant. At this point... they should've just ripped the bandaid off and hired another driver.

      Wow. Like I get wanting/needing to maximize the now-reduced points potential for the weekend, especially since Alex is the stronger/more experienced driver. But that just doesn't seem fair,...

      You're right though. That's a pretty strong slap in the face to Logan.

    Ditch Logan now and get a head start with Kimi. it’s going to be that way anyway.

    To be fair, he has improved with getting out of the way when Max laps him.

    Video of Albon's crash via Twitter post on the official F1 account.

    Williams does not have a spare chassis on site but team principal James Vowles has confirmed that the option exists to switch Albon to Logan Sargeant’s car on Saturday, leaving the American on the sidelines.

    Albon had a huge accident in FP1 in Albert Park, hitting a concrete wall with the right hand side of the car at high-speed before spearing across the track and striking the wall on the other side as well.
