Logan Sargeant, racing for Williams, experienced a significant crash in the first sector, hitting the barriers in Turn 7 during the first practice session (FP1) at the Japanese Grand Prix, causing considerable damage to his car. Despite the crash, the chassis, previously involved in an accident by Alex Albon in Melbourne, remained intact. Williams had repaired this chassis for Sargeant's use in Japan, as they would not have a spare chassis available until the Miami GP in May. The incident led to multiple red flags during the session, but Sargeant was confirmed to be unharmed. Williams team boss James Vowles confirmed the chassis's survival but indicated extensive damage to other parts of the car. Sargeant acknowledged the crash as a result of his error, describing it as 'a bit of a silly error' and something he should not have made.
