Logan Sargeant Replaced At Williams For Franco Colapinto

Just as we were uploading our Dutch GP Analysis, Williams breaks the news that Logan Saregant will be replaced at the team with immediate effect, with F2 and Williams Academy driver Franco Colapinto taking over for the rest of the season, including this weekend's Italian Grand Prix.

On this emergency edition of the Autosport Podcast, Bryn Lucas is joined by Sam Hall to discuss the shocking news. There's chat on whether Williams should have kept Logan on to see out the season, and what his future may hold now he's been released from the team. 

There's also a deep dive on Franco himself, whether this cameo could set him up for an F1 seat in 2025 or beyond, and some of the other rumoured names that didn't get in like Mick Schumacher or Liam Lawson.
