Logan Sargeant is disappointed in himself after a pointless first half of his rookie F1 season.

The Williams driver is one of only three drivers who have not scored a point, the others being Nyck de Vries, who was sacked after 10 rounds, and Daniel Ricciardo who replaced the Dutchman at AlphaTauri.

Having been promoted from Formula 2 earlier than he anticipated, Sargeant has been using the start of the campaign to learn everything he can from his team-mate Alex Albon.

He has been doing exactly that but it hasn't been enough to finish in the top 10 with his best result 11th at the British GP.

Sargeant: A mental drain

It's been a very turbulent season for Logan Sargeant in his rookie F1 campaign

"I wouldn't say I put a lot of pressure on myself," Sargeant said, as quoted by Motorsport-Total.

"I think it was a mental challenge to get so many things done and not have much time to recover. It's more of a mental drain than a big challenge.

"Obviously I have high expectations of myself. I want to drive well. I've let myself down a lot this year by not doing what I could have done and that's what matters. I expect that I bring out the best in myself."
