But his mood wouldn’t have been improved after he appeared to run onto the grass at the exit of Zandvoort’s Turn 3 in damp conditions, spinning his Williams into the barriers – a doubly painful impact for the team, given that the car was sporting a host of upgraded parts.
“I’m okay,” Sargeant thankfully reported over team radio – before his Williams team urged him to exit the cockpit quick-smart, as TV images showed the rear of the car catching fire.
