I wonder what Sargeant will do after F1.

Where he will likely make more money. Itโ€™s really difficult and financially unsound for most American drivers to go to Formula 1, unfortunately. Largely because they would need to be in Europe or Asia coming up, because there arenโ€™t any good US junior series -> F1 pipelines.

Hell, you could be a prodigy who gets 1st in Indy NXT and then 3rd in your rookie IndyCar season and you wouldnโ€™t have enough super license points to go to Formula 1. And even if you did well enough over three seasons to earn a super license, F1 teams wouldnโ€™t pay you nearly what IndyCar teams would because youโ€™d be relatively unknown. And youโ€™d be in a garbage backmarker car.

Meanwhile if youโ€™re good you can earn big money and win races in IndyCar rather than putzing around in the backmarkers in F1 (like Rossi, who went from scoring no points in a shitty Marussia in 2014-2015 to winning the Indy 500 in 2016).
