The biggest problem with Sargeant is that these crashes are costing the team having less money to develop the car.

Same thing as Mick. Not fast enough while costing the team a lot of money through wrecking the car. Mick was closer to magnussen though

Exactly! If I was James Vowles, I’d be pretty pissed.

Absolutely, although the Haas was just shit. Mick did show progress in the second half of the season, handling the car better and earning points. Rookies who demonstrate that kind of improvement definitely deserve a second chance.

I don't see that with Logan.

Well mick was not a rookie in 2022 so holding him to a higher standard is not wrong.

although the Haas was just shit

The Haas last year was as good (in relation to other cars last year) or even better than the Williams is this year.
