Logan: “I feel like I've got my feet under the table”

On his first ever visit to Australia, Logan Sargeant was on FIA press conference duty at Albert Park.

The 22-year-old has enjoyed two solid rounds to begin his Formula 1 career, with the Floridian recording a P12 and a P16 finish in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia respectively.

Here’s what LS2 had to say earlier today.

It honestly reminds me a little bit of America, quite familiar in the feel of the city to be honest. It's always a place and a track I've wanted to visit, so I'm pretty excited to be here for the first time.

I took a nice walk around the city just to check it out. Other than that it’s just been training and getting acclimated to Melbourne.

Too many laps in the sim, that's for sure! But it's honestly a track that I've driven on sims for however long - since I was a kid, just a track I've always looked forward to coming to.

We did a track walk yesterday to really get a lay of the land and it looks awesome, tricky, but looking forward to taking it on.

What haven't I [enjoyed]? It's hard to pick one; I've loved everything.

And I think, honestly, just having the element of going against 19 of the best drivers in the world.

And really challenging myself to step up and make something happen.

I think Saudi Arabia was a really good step forward in terms of qualifying pace from Bahrain even though nothing came of it but I think that was super positive.

I feel honestly super comfortable in the car. I feel like I've got my feet under the table. But there's still a lot to learn in the races so trying to get on top of that.

I've always been very comfortable with my qualifying pace coming from the previous series. So just trying to get on top of the race runs.

I think just coming from F3 and F2 where you can see everything, you can see the yellow line, it's really easy to line the car up in the right spot.

First thing I noticed, the first time I lined up in a grid box in an F1 car, you can't see anything.

You can't see any of the lines, so you have to take a marker on the wall to your right or left to know how far forward you can pull as well.

So it is a lot more difficult and I'm not surprised that there are struggles.
