Logan Sargeants’ only message after the news of Carlos Sainz taking the American’s seat at Williams for 2025 and beyond:

“So long, and thanks for all the fish.”

Notes:

Logan is nicer than I ever will be. Life is beating the hell out of him with the whump stick and he needs a little love.
Please have on creator's style or this just isn't going to look right. Also, please ignore the timing errors lol I totally forgot about them. The DM's are scrollable btw!

Good luck to Carlos! I do seriously wonder how well he would do in Logans' current spec car aka Frankinstein's car from hell

There are only 20 people every year who get to call themselves Formula 1 drivers, for 2 years he was apart of that club. He got as lucky as he’d ever get, sadly. Everyone including himself should be proud of his achievement.

Odd message, bets on if he’s still going to ride the season out?

I need Logan to let it all out balls to the walls crazy stupid I need the dirt I need the drama I need him to not give any fucks about anyone but himself

This was inevitable Logan was never going to stay at Williams, and you know what? It’s a good thing. Logan fans hear me out: All of Williams downfalls with him have been blamed on the kid’s personal talent, not the car, not the strategy, development, or the management. Next year they will have no place to hide, if Vowel’s can’t get the performance in the car (like he isn’t this year!) he can’t get away with blaming Carlos like he can with Logan, and if that continues into 2026? Goodbye Vowels.

... What the hell does THAT mean? I'm not a native english speaker, is this some kind of American Florida fish slang?. Quoting a tweet of:

I got you fam! It's actually an English-speaking pop culture-ish reference from the 1980s-early 2000s! It's from a book (1980) turned movie (2005) 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' where the planet is about to be destroyed, and the dolphins know about it, but humans don't, so when the dolphins leave the planet they leave a note for the humans which says 'So long, and thanks for all the fish'.
So it could be a humorous way for Logan just saying goodbye permanently (like he's never going back to Williams) OR it could have a kind of a hidden meaning of saying 'good luck with this dumpster fire, I'm out' I choose to believe option 2 considering Williams, is, ya know, Williams.

Thank you! ❤️

I'm definitely believing 2 as well... no way will Williams go from using 2023 parts on Logan's car this year to suddenly being a contender next year. Carlos chose the best bad option he had with only bad options available.

Yeah, he had nothing but trash options tbh. I sympathize a little but still not really lol
Williams acting like Carlos looked from his top-scoring Ferrari to the back of the grid and looked at Logan's car (Alex's beater) and said 'Yup, that's where I want to go' makes me laugh

Ok, I’m willing to hear this out. If Williams doesn’t want him what makes you think that Mercedes does?

I don’t think Mercedes wants HIM necessarily, I think they want somebody who will take a year long contract with no fuss. We all know Antonelli is the future for Mercedes, but he himself said he was unsure if he is ready to make that leap. If Mercedes throw him in next year and he doesn’t perform up to standards, everybody is going to point the finger at Mercedes.

User 11 @username11 · 6h ago

They probably want somebody who will take a one year contract and happily go on their way after 2025. It’s perfect. He’s cheap, available, has experience, and will probably take a year without complaints. Then he has a year in a good enough car to prove to himself, and everyone else, he has what it takes to do good in the sport. Maybe he’ll even be able to find somewhere else after.

I can see the vision-ish, Bottas and Kmag will probably want something more than a year, so I can see how that’ll put them out of play.
But I think Mick would be happy to take a year long one too, he also has something to prove and he’s already their reserve driver.

Yes! I thought of him as well. But hear me out on this one too: Mick to Audi.

Hey Log, hope you're doing ok... you know I'll be here for you. Always. I'll be in London during the break if you wanna meet up

I can go to Florida if you're going to be there

Or wherever you'll be, I'd just like to spend some time with you

Thanks Osc... I think I'm just going to spend sometime with myself for a couple days. Just to process everything, I knew there was no chance in hell I had a chance at staying but it felt very blindsiding. Like everything just suddenly happened in the past 12 hours.

Carlos called me after the race and told me. Before I even got a email by Williams. A fucking email Oscar

I'm just

I need some time

Sent by you at 9:10 AM

That's fucked mate

I'm so sorry I can punt him off in Zandvoort I just need the word

Nah, it's not really his fault. I mean I get it. A seat is a seat, even at a backmarker team. Best of the worst I guess Well I like what you said after the annoucement, surprised Williams even let you say it I didn't ask permission. Radio silence from Williams other than an email thanking me for my service this morning. I spent all night trying to figure out what to say, but I couldn't get anything right. Woke up to Hitchikers guide to the galaxy playing and ending up rolling with it. Have you talked to Alex? He's sent me a few text but I haven't replied I don't know what to say or how to feel with him yet. Did he know? I mean he must've right? I even knew to some extent but did he know more than me and just not say anything? But it's all just business I guess... we aren't really friends It just all hurts. but I'll get over it. You're allowed to feel hurt Logan. You're only human. But keep your chin up, you still have options. Don't forget that When you're ready to meet up, I'll be there. Any time any place
