The United States has a very rich history Formula 1, but in recent years he has lost strength on the track. Although it is getting more and more out there (the arrival of the Las Vegas GP is an example), this does not translate into competitive drivers. Although that could change with his arrival sergeant loganone of the promises of American motorsports.
Sports news revisits not only Logan’s sporting history, but also his family, heritage, contracts and passions outside the world of motorsport.
Logan Sargeant: the grandson of the controversial oil billionaire with excellent contacts with Donald Trump
Born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on December 31, 2000, Logan Sargeant had a passion for engines from a very young age. After great success in karting (he was world junior champion in 2015), he made his Formula 4 car debut in the United Arab Emirates. There he began an uphill path to its gates maximum. The one that will come out of Williams’ hands if he gets the super license from the FIA. To do this, he must finish among the eight best in Formula 2: with one date missing (two races in Abu Dhabi) he is third but with a very small gap to the rest.
Williams is an important part of his career: at the end of 2021 he joined the team’s driver academy and was the key to reaching the British Carlin F2 team. He managed to be the first American driver to win a race in the class. Sargeant appears as the great national project, surpassing Colton Hertaanother one of the candidates.

To reach the level he is at now, his grandfather’s financial contribution was also valuable: Harry Sergeant III. This former fighter pilot from the United States is one of the richest people in the world with an estimated net worth of over $2 billion. How did you make your fortune? Mainly with the oil industry.
Being present in such an important market, Sargeant has excellent political contacts to connect with Donald Trump. He emerged as one of the key supporters of the former US president. On more than one occasion he was criticized for refueling American planes during the Iraq war.
Dalton’s brother’s mainstay
When Logan moved to Europe to pursue his dream of becoming a professional pilot, he didn’t do it alone, but was accompanied by his brother Dalton. Both of them held on so as not to falter on the thorny path. Despite being two years older, Dalton’s journey ended long before that of the youngest in the family.
In 2015, Dalton entered the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series for the first time, posting two top-10 finishes in four races. The other two years he participated in the ARCA Racing Series, a lesser-known category, being one of the most outstanding: in 2016 he was awarded Rookie of the Year.
His last opportunity in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series came in 2018: he was third at Pocono Raceway, his best finish. He has not fought professionally again since.
Is Logan Sargeant a millionaire?
As mentioned, Logan Sargeant comes from a very rich family, but his personal assets are still weak. It is estimated that his earnings will not exceed one million dollars, which will very likely be increased by his performance in Maxima.
