Sargeant discusses his ‘really difficult’ relocation to Europe

Logan Sergeant has spoken candidly about his “really difficult” early transfer to Europe in pursuit of his Formula 1 goal.

All but one of the 10 current F1 teams have their headquarters in Europe, making F1 a historically European sport. Many of F1’s European circuits also appear on the calendars of the sport’s feeder series, notably F2 and F3.

In order to compete in junior championships that allow them to advance and put themselves on the radar of key individuals in F1, drivers from outside of Europe who harbor dreams of one day making it to Formula 1 generally move to the continent at a young age.

The same age as fellow F1 driver Zhou Guanyu when he left China to relocate to England for the same purpose, Sargeant left his native Florida at the age of 12 in order to gain a foot on the European karting ladder.

Sargeant, who split his adolescent years between Switzerland and England while competing in several series throughout Europe, spoke exclusively to RacingNews365.com on the difficulties of traveling across the globe at such a young age.

“It’s incredibly challenging, a lot harder than it might seem,” said Sargeant. “I suppose it’s the same for anyone from America, Zhou from China, Australia, or New Zealand.

“You have to decide that quickly. You leave your friends and family and move away from home. It’s mentally demanding and occasionally rather lonely.

“At the same time, it kind of strengthens you, but in the moment, it’s extremely challenging, and I think that’s probably the reason you see [fewer non-Europeans] in F1,” the author said.
