Logan Sargeant opens up on 'disappointing' Miami Grand Prix as US driver fails to score at home race for second straight year after Kevin Magnussen collision

Logan Sargeant failed to score points at the Miami Grand Prix for the second year in a row, after Kevin Magnussen collided with the Williams driver halfway through his home race.

Stewards deemed the Haas driver to be at fault for the incident on lap 29 and slapped the Dane with a 10-second time penalty.

The Safety Car that was deployed to retrieve Sargeant’s car allowed McLaren's Lando Norris to keep the lead, and finally achieve his maiden Formula 1 victory.

‘It’s a disappointing way to end the weekend,’ he told reporters after the collision sent him into the wall at turn three.

‘We’re all driving as hard as we can for our teams. Sometimes it’s over the limit, sometimes it’s not,’ he added, when asked about Magnussen’s driving style.

‘At that point in the race we were probably both struggling for pace… but apart from that I feel like I was on the pace all weekend, not much more I could have dragged out of it.’

The 23-year-old American headed into his home race this weekend with his seat already in jeopardy. 

Williams team principal James Vowles has said that to keep his seat, Sargeant must elevate his performance to consistently match teammate Alex Albon. 

The latest pressure on Sargeant comes amid speculation ahead of the weekend's race that he could be replaced as soon as the May 19 race at Imola in Italy.

The leading candidate to take Sargeant's seat is Mercedes junior driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli. The 17-year-old Italian competes in F2 and does not yet have the Super License required to compete in an F1 race. 

However, it has been reported that the FIA has received a request to grant Antonelli a Super License ahead of his 18th birthday in August.
