American F1 Veteran Logan Sargeant 'Stepping Away' From Racing
American Logan Sargeant, who lost his Formula 1 ride with Williams midway through the 2024 season and who was set to race in the European Le Mans Series, is apparently "stepping away from the sport to pursue other interests."
The news on the 24-year-old Sargeant is surprising. He was slated to drive for the IDEC Sport and Genesis Magma Racing in the Euro Series, where he was to pair with former W Series and Indy NXT driver Jamie Chadwick.
Following the decision of Logan Sargeant to stepping away from the sport to pursue other interests, IDEC SPORT and Genesis Magma Racing are taking note of his decision and will announce his substitute in the next few days. We wish Logan all the best in his future projects. pic.twitter.com/r6XaCKePfa

IDEC Sport Racing released the news on its X page on Tuesday.
The six-race ELMS schedule is scheduled to kick off April 1 with testing in Barcelona ahead of the season-opening race there the next week.
Sargeant, who made 36 starts for Williams F1 in 2023 and 2024, tested an Indy car for Meyer Shank Racing at Thermal Club in California, but no IndyCar Series deal for 2025 came of it.
His best finish in Formula 1 was a 10th-place finish at Austin in 2023.

US women cruise past China in friendly win
Catarina Macario celebrates her opening goal for the USA in a 3-0 win over China on Saturday (Kerem YUCEL) The United States romped to a 3-0 win over China in a women's international football friendly on Saturday, as the former world champions' renaissance under coach Emma Hayes continued. Goals from Catarina Macario, Sam Coffey and Lindsey Heaps delivered a convincing win for the American women, who dominated a fragile Chinese side at Saint Paul, Minnesota. Advertisement It was the 17th win in 21 games for the USA's English head coach Hayes, who was tasked with restoring the Americans to the summit of the women's game following their early 2023 World Cup exit. Hayes, who led the USA to a gold medal at last year's Olympics, is preparing her squad for this year's qualifiers for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil. The former Chelsea manager would have liked what she saw in a fluid first half performance that saw China's risky tactical decision to play with a high line punished ruthlessly. Macario opened the scoring after 28 minutes, bundling home a close-range finish after good work from Alyssa Thompson. Advertisement The USA doubled their tally seven minutes later with a brilliantly worked goal, which began when the gifted 17-year-old midfielder Lily Yohannes released Thompson down the right who crossed for Macario. Macario played a short pass into Coffey, who swept home with aplomb. Macario and Heaps both threatened to add to the USA tally with long-range shots that were just off target before half-time. Heaps though bagged the USA's third in the 54th minute, nodding in past China goalkeeper Pan Hongyan to effectively seal the win. The USA face Jamaica in a friendly in on Tuesday. rcw/bb

American swimming star Lilly King announces farewell season, final US competition
Associated Press American three-time Olympic swimming star and world record holder Lilly King has announced the upcoming Toyota National Championships in Indianapolis will be her final meet on U.S. soil as she prepares to call it a career at the conclusion of the 2025 season. The meet will run Tuesday through Saturday. A longtime breaststroke stalwart, King announced her plans Saturday on Instagram and said swimming her final race in the U.S. in her home state and a pool she's known since her youth 'has always been important to me.' 'Well, folks, my time has come. This will be my final season competing," she wrote. "I'm fortunate heading into retirement being able to say I have accomplished everything I have ever wanted in this sport. I feel fulfilled." The 28-year-old King holds the world record in the 100-meter breaststroke with a time of 1:04.13, set at the 2017 world championships. She won an Olympic gold medal in the 100 breast at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games and also captured Olympic titles on relays in Rio and at her final Olympics last year in Paris. The U.S. women's 4x100 medley relay set a world record in 3:49.63. Regan Smith, Gretchen Walsh and Torri Huske were her teammates in the Americans' victory over defending Olympic champion Australia. 'Just an awesome way to cap off the meet,' King said afterward. At the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics, King earned silver medals in the 200 breaststroke and 4x100 medley relay and a bronze in the 100 breast. She narrowly missed the medal stand in the 100 breast in Paris, with one-hundredth of a second separating bronze medalist Mona McSharry of Ireland and the fourth-place tie between King and Italy's Benedetta Pilato in 1:05.60. For King, being home in Indiana next week will mean so much. It was also in Indianapolis last June during the U.S. Olympic swimming trials that boyfriend and former Indiana University swimmer James Wells proposed to her just off the pool deck — and she said yes. 'I have been racing in the IU Natatorium since I was 10 years old," she wrote. "From state meets, to NCAAs, Nationals, and anything in between, this pool has been my home. I didn't quite make it 20 years (only 18) of racing in Indy, but this is as close as I'm gonna get! I look forward to racing in front of a home crowd one last time." ___ AP Summer Olympics: in this topic
