Logan Sargeant may be kick-starting his halted motor racing career with a test in Indycar.
The 23-year-old American's 37-race stint in Formula 1 ended after the Dutch Grand Prix a month ago, when Williams replaced him with Franco Colapinto.
This week, the Meyer Shank Indycar team confirmed that Sargeant will participate in a test at California's private Thermal Club track in November.
Sargeant, who struggled to make an impact in Formula 1 after debuting last year, has still shown valuable qualities, according to Williams team boss James Vowles, who made the decision to replace him.
"One of the strengths that's underrated in his regard is he has a huge mental resilience," Vowles said recently.
"He takes a punishment in the media - in the world, really - almost weekend on weekend. But when it comes the following weekend, he's cleared his mind of that."
"It's not that he hasn't progressed. I think he's matured a lot as a driver. He's able to deal with the pressure and what comes at you much, much better."
"We have to remember that we have the top 20 drivers in the world fundamentally competing on a world stage. And he's ending up something akin to a few tenths off. And that's not a large amount," Vowles added.
"That still puts you in good stead for the remainder of the world." body check tags ::
