“Logan Sargeant is another one of those drivers who’s on shaky ground and really needs to prove himself," he told Sky Sports.
"He’s been making too many mistakes so honestly I think it’s going to be difficult for him to retain that seat for next year, especially because Albon is doing such a phenomenal job.

“Albon would also be a dream candidate actually for the Red Bull mother team for next year to replace Sergio Perez.
"But unfortunately, as Helmut Marko was saying, Albon is locked in with a long-term contract there at Williams.”
Although not confirmed, Albon is understood to have a deal to keep him at Williams until the end of 2024 at the very least, with a possible one-year extension also being included within the contract.
