Logan Sargeant survives HORROR crash in the Netherlands as Williams driver is forced to jump out of his burning car after it burst into flames in practice session ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix

Logan Sargeant jumped from his burning car after a heavy crash during practice for the Dutch Grand Prix.

The American lost control of his Williams exiting Turn 3 in wet conditions and hit the barrier hard, spinning through 270 degrees, his right rear wheel coming off as the drama unfolded.

The back of his car was then engulfed in flames by powerful orange flames.

A concerned George Russell rode next to the 23-year-old sergeant and gestured for him to climb out of the cockpit.

Sargeant, clearly shaken by the impact, climbed out of his Williams pit wall under instruction. ‘The car is on fire,’ he was told by his race engineer Gaeto Jago. ‘Jump out. The car is on fire.’

The driver fell over the crash barrier behind the grass verge while the fire brigade arrived on the scene, albeit a little too late.

A red flag was waved as Sargeant went to the medical centre for precautionary measures while his crumpled car was taken away by a truck.

It appears that the repairs cannot be completed in time for qualifying this afternoon (14:00 BST).

Marshals attended to the broken barrier in an attempt to restart the third practice session. Lewis Hamilton had not yet completed a lap at that point.

A spokesperson for Williams confirmed: ‘Logan has been to the medical centre and is fine.’

The session was interrupted for 41 minutes.
