Albon vs Sargeant: All 2024 Williams Head To Head Stats With Analysis Of Every Race

Alex Albon and Logan Sargeant both drive for Williams in the 2024 Formula One World Championships.

The two Williams drivers had very different routes to their 2024 seats. Albon's career has been a real rollercoaster, as he unexpectedly got a seat in Red Bull Racing in 2019 and drove for the team in 2020.

However, once he returned to F1 in 2022, his career seemingly took a step back when he went to one of the slowest teams on the grid. In the first season, he managed to outclass his teammate Nicolas Latifi.

In the second season, the Thai driver was joined by Logan Sargeant, who, too, couldn't keep up with Albon in their only season together so far, as the American was outscored (1 vs. 27).

Albon vs Sargeant: All 2024 Williams H2H Stats:

2024 Bahrain Grand Prix Summary - Albon vs Sargeant:

The first race of the 2024 season was a very weird one for Williams. On the one hand, Albon managed to qualify 13th, looking ahead for the race, but he couldn't really make any progress.

Albon finished the race 15th, but Sargeant's result was much worse. At one moment, the American driver found himself in the run-off area, taking nearly a minute to properly recover, and from there, it was a testing session for him.

He was the only driver that finished two laps behind the winner Max Verstappen, and the first race of the season went terribly for the American driver, who needs to perform well in 2024 to keep his seat.

2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Summary - Albon vs Sargeant:

As opposed to his teammate, Albon made it to Q2 in qualifying and qualified in a very decent P12. During the race, he had a chance to fight for P10.

However, he got stuck in the train behind Kevin Magnussen, who intentionally slowed down everyone behind him to allow his teammate Nico Hulkenberg to take the one point for P10. Sargeant finished in P14 and the Thai driver in P11, almost 12 seconds behind Hulk.

2024 Australian Grand Prix Summary - Albon vs Sargeant:

The 2024 Australian Grand Prix was probably the weirdest one in the rivalry of the Williams drivers. After Albon crashed his car during FP1, and the team wasn't able to repair it in time, they made a difficult decision.

Albon replaced Sargeant in his car, which the American driver called "the hardest moment of his career." Therefore, he was withdrawn from the race, as the team only had one car, but the move still didn't produce any points for Williams, as the Thai driver finished only 11th.

2024 Japanese Grand Prix Summary - Albon vs Sargeant:

The Grand Prix in Japan ended in a disappointment for Williams. After a really painful weekend in Australia for the American driver, he returned to the grid at the Suzuka Circuit, but the race was everything but a success for the British team.

Albon crashed out already on the opening lap after colliding with Daniel Ricciardo, and Sargeant also struggled during the race, finishing last of the drivers that finished the race, 17th, while also leaving the track for a brief period in what could have ended in a retirement.

2024 Chinese Grand Prix Summary - Albon vs Sargeant:

The season's first Sprint weekend got off to a rough start for Williams. Both of their drivers failed to make it out of SQ1, with Albon securing a start from P18, while Sargeant placed 20th.

The Sprint wasn't any better for the two, as they finished in the same order, but 17th and 18th, and while Albon managed to improve in the qualifying and put his Williams to P14, Sargeant couldn't escape the last position once again.

Despite qualifying quite low, both drivers benefited from three retirements from the race, but that wasn't enough to put them into points positions, as Albon finished 12th, with Sargeant crossing the finish line last of the cars that finished the race - in P17.

2024 Miami Grand Prix Summary - Albon vs Sargeant:

Miami Grand Prix is Sargeant's home race, and the 23-year-old benefited from the atmosphere on his home soil. He beat Albon both in Sprint qualifying and the sprint race, although his P10 wasn't enough to score points. Albon finished the sprint in P13.

Albon re-established his dominance and outqualified Sargeant for the Grand Prix. However, the Williams car didn't have the pace to match its rivals during the weekend.

Sargeant was running in P18 when he collided with Magnussen, resulting in an unfortunate DNF. The consequent safety car helped Albon get in front of his rivals, but he still didn't have the pace on hard tires to hold on to his P13. In the end, he finished in P19, but P18 after Magnussen's penalty was added.

2024 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix Summary - Albon vs Sargeant:

Sargeant got all his lap times in Q1 deleted for exceeding the track limits, which meant he didn't qualify and had to start the race dead last.

Nevertheless, even his lap time with crossing track limits wasn't enough to get through to Q2. In the meantime, Alex Albon made it out of Q1 and qualified in P14.

Unfortunately for the Thai driver, his race was pretty much over after his first pit stop when his right front wheel wasn't put on properly, and he had to slowly complete one lap with the loose wheel to stop again.

Ultimately, this cost him too much time, and he also received some penalties, so Williams retired his car later in the race. Sargeant finished in P17.

2024 Monaco Grand Prix Summary - Albon vs Sargeant:

The Monaco Grand Prix was Williams's chance to score their first points of the season, and thanks to Alex Albon's incredible qualifying performance, the British F1 team was able to do so.

The Thai driver outperformed his teammate for the seventh consecutive time, putting his Williams into P9 for the start of the race. Sargeant qualified only in P15, so he had no chance to score points on Sunday.

Ultimately, both drivers finished exactly where they started, which meant two points for Williams for Albon's P9. This result moved the team into provisional P8 in the Championship.

2024 Canadian Grand Prix Summary - Albon vs Sargeant:

Albon had the edge on his teammate for the ninth time in a row during the qualifying for the Canadian Grand Prix. The race was in changing, but mainly wet, very tricky conditions.

These conditions proved more than tricky for Sargeant, who crashed his Williams as a result. His older, more experienced teammate could have run for points but was eliminated by Sainz, who made a driver's error. Double DNF for Williams.

2024 Spanish Grand Prix Summary - Albon vs Sargeant:

The Spanish Grand Prix was far from ideal for Williams. They started their weekend by qualifying in the last two spots, with Albon ahead of Sargeant, and after the Thai driver made changes to his power unit, he was even required to start from the pit lane.

During the race, they couldn't improve at all, as the American driver was the only one who was lapped two times by the race winner Max Verstappen, ending last, while Albon finished only in P18.

2024 Austrian Grand Prix Summary - Albon vs Sargeant:

After the disastrous week in Barcelona, there was only one way for the British team, and it was way up. During the Sprint Qualifying, Sargeant put together great performance, out-qualifying his teammate with 15th place, while Albon was only in P19.

The American driver was then able to back that result also during the Sprint Race, as he finished one place (16th) ahead of his Thai teammate, who finished the Sprint Race in P17.

In the qualifying for the race, they made sure to create a little bit better starting positions for themselves, with Albon getting P16 while Sargeant qualified in P19, but that still wasn't good enough to get them anywhere near points on Sunday, with Albon finishing the race 15th and the American driver 19th.

2024 British Grand Prix Summary - Albon vs Sargeant:

The 2024 British Grand Prix was very tricky, from start to finish, mostly because of the rainy conditions during both qualifying and race. However, both Williams drivers managed to deal with that perfectly.

They showed early promise already in the qualifying, when both drivers nearly managed to get into Q3. Although Sargeant was eliminated in Q2, he secured 12th place on the starting grid, while his teammate was up in P9.

During the race, they managed to avoid any unnecessary fights and contacts, apart from Albon's Lap 1 incident with Fernando Alonso, when he lost a bit of body work as a result of drivers getting too bunched up after the start of the race.

Still, both Williams drivers then manage to drive very consistently, and for Albon, that paid off in his and his team's second point-scoring finish of the 2024 season, as he crossed the finish line 9th. Sargeant also got very close to scoring his first point this year, but he finished only in P11.

2024 Hungarian Grand Prix Summary - Albon vs Sargeant:

The American driver qualified perhaps closer to his teammate than in any other Grand Prix qualifying in 2024 up until that point. Only 0,114 seconds separated Sargeant in P14 from Albon in P13.

The two drivers had completely different starts, though. Albon, starting on the soft compound tires, went up into P9 in the first lap, while Sargeant lost two positions and fell down into P16.

The problem for the Thai driver was that his team was undecided on the strategy and changed twice between the two-stop and three-stop, which ultimately cost him. He finished in P14. Sargeant also couldn't do much after the opening lap, and he additionally lost one position to finish in P17.
