Although he did not win any races, he was on the podium in fifteen of the eighteen official races and finished second in the standings behind teammate Jonathan Aberdein. In 2017, Sargeant joined Carlin to compete in the F4 British Championship. He achieved ten podium finishes in 30 races, including two race wins at Rockingham and Silverstone, and finished third in the standings behind Oscar Piastri and teammate and dominant champion Jamie Caroline.

Formula Renault Eurocup

Sargeant was the second-highest placed rookie that season, behind Lundgaard.

FIA Formula 3 Championship 2019

Sargeant returned to Carlin to contest the 2019 FIA Formula 3 Championship, joining Teppei Natori and future Formula 2 rival Felipe Drugovich at the team. Sargeant scored points on four occasions, with top finishes of eighth place at Circuit Paul Ricard and the Hungaroring. He ended the season 19th in the championship with five points; Drugovich scored eight points and Natori one point.

At the end of 2019, Sargeant competed in the Macau Grand Prix. He placed tenth in qualifying, ahead of teammates Drugovich and Dan Ticktum. In the qualification race, he was involved in an opening-lap crash with Arjun Maini that eliminated Maini, Jake Hughes and Enaam Ahmed from the race. Sargeant himself avoided damage and went on to finish sixth. He finished the main race on the podium in third, behind Jüri Vips and race winner Richard Verschoor.

2020 For the season, Sargeant switched to reigning Teams' Champions Prema Racing, partnering Frederik Vesti and former British F4 rival Oscar Piastri. He took two podium finishes at the Red Bull Ring and another podium from pole position in the first Silverstone feature race. He scored his first FIA F3 victory in the second feature race at Silverstone, again from pole position, which promoted him into the lead of the championship. He claimed a third consecutive pole at Barcelona and finished third in the feature race, retaining the championship lead after round six of nine.

Sargeant's next win came in the next round at Spa-Francorchamps, where he won the sprint race and extended his points advantage over Piastri. However, collisions with Clément Novalak and teammate Vesti at Monza Circuit left him with no points in either race and a grid penalty for the final round. Sixth place in the Mugello feature race left him tied with Piastri on 160 points going into the final race, but contact with Lirim Zendeli on the opening lap eliminated him from contention as Piastri went on to claim the title. Championship outsider Théo Pourchaire finished on the podium, leaving Sargeant third in the standings, one point behind Pourchaire and four behind Piastri.

2021

In February 2021, Sargeant ruled out a move to the FIA Formula 2 Championship despite performing a test with Campos Racing, citing financial reasons, and stated his interest in pursuing options in sports car racing or Indy Lights. In April, he took part in a pre-season F3 test with Charouz Racing System, who had finished last in the Teams' Championship the previous year. This was followed by an announcement of his return to the championship for with Charouz shortly before the first race of the season.

Sargeant scored points in three of the first four races and finished third in the first race at the Red Bull Ring, but lost the podium position post-race due to a penalty for track limit violations. His first podium of the season, and the first ever podium in the series for Charouz, came in the first race at the Hungaroring. More podiums came at Spa-Francorchamps and at Zandvoort. He took his only win of the season at Sochi Autodrom, thus giving Charouz their first victory in Formula 3. Sargeant finished the campaign seventh in the Drivers' Championship, scoring 102 of the team's 127 points.

FIA Formula 2 Championship

After receiving the backing of Formula One team Williams, Sargeant made his Formula 2 debut in the penultimate round of the 2021 season with HWA Racelab. He finished the first race in 16th, retired in the second sprint due to a mechanical problem, and ended the aborted feature race in 14th position.

In December 2021, it was announced that Sargeant would join Carlin, the team he had previously raced for in F4 and F3, to contest the 2022 Formula 2 Championship alongside Liam Lawson. He qualified fourth at the opening round in Bahrain and scored points in both races, but a crash in qualifying at the next round in Jeddah forced him to start 18th and he failed to score. He claimed his first podium in the Barcelona sprint race and his first feature race podium at Baku, finishing second. At Silverstone, he achieved his first pole position in the series and converted it into his first victory. At the Red Bull Ring, he qualified third and finished the feature race fourth. However, the disqualification of race winner Richard Verschoor and time penalties for Jehan Daruvala and Roberto Merhi meant that Sargeant inherited his second consecutive feature race win. This result promoted him to second place in the championship, with 115 points to teammate Lawson's 60.

That victory would ultimately be his final podium finish of the season. He achieved another pole position at the next round at Circuit Paul Ricard, but retired from the feature race after stalling in the pits. More retirements came in the sprint races at the Hungaroring and at Spa-Francorchamps, both due to accidents. Sargeant's feature races at the following two rounds, Zandvoort and Monza, both ended in first-lap crashes. At the end of the season, Sargeant was fourth in the Drivers' Championship on 148 points, one point behind Lawson. Sargeant achieved two wins, two pole positions and four total podiums over the year.

Formula One career

In October 2021, on the weekend of the United States Grand Prix, it was announced that Sargeant had joined the Williams Driver Academy. He drove a Formula One car for the first time in the Yas Marina Circuit post-season test at the wheel of the Williams FW43B, which he described as an "experience of a lifetime."

Sargeant made his Formula One practice debut with Williams at the 2022 United States Grand Prix, making him the first American driver to take part in a Grand Prix weekend session since Alexander Rossi in . Williams' team principal Jost Capito stated that his debut "was a pleasure and pressure for Sargeant". Capito also confirmed that Sargeant would drive for Williams in , replacing the outgoing Nicholas Latifi, provided he obtained the necessary FIA Super Licence points by finishing at least fifth (or sixth without any penalty points) in his Formula 2 campaign. Capito also commented that Sargeant's American nationality was "not the initiation for the decision" to promote him.

Sargeant drove the FW44 in further practice sessions at the Mexico City, São Paulo and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix. He achieved the required Super Licence points at the Abu Dhabi weekend and was officially announced as a 2023 Williams race driver the following day. He chose 2 as his permanent driver number, last used by Stoffel Vandoorne in .

He retired from the sprint after spinning into the gravel, and later withdrew from the race after 40 laps due to heat stroke and dehydration, symptoms experienced by other drivers due to the extreme weather conditions. He started 16th at the but improved to finish 12th.

He achieved his career best qualifying performance at the , starting sixth, but both Williams drivers dropped outside the points at the finish. He again failed to set a qualifying time at the season-ending as his attempts were deleted for violating track limits. This meant that he was out-qualified by teammate Albon at all of the season's twenty-two races.

Sargeant finished the season 21st in the World Drivers' Championship, scoring one point to Albon's tally of 27. Sky Sports described his debut season as "hugely challenging". The Race and RaceFans both ranked him 21st of 22 drivers based on performance, although the former commented that he "showed flashes of genuine speed".

2024: Curtailed second year

In December 2023, Williams announced that Sargeant had been re-signed and would drive for the team in alongside Albon. At the season opener at the Bahrain International Circuit, he qualified 18th, improved to 14th by the second lap, but finished 20th following a steering wheel issue. He then gained five places at the , starting 19th and finishing 14th. He withdrew from the to allow teammate Albon to use his chassis; Albon had crashed heavily in practice, and the team were unable to repair his car. Sargeant described the situation as the "hardest moment" of his career.

Sargeant returned at the but crashed in practice. During the race, he ran as high as 11th place but went on to finish 17th after locking up and going into the gravel. He described the as a "massive struggle" after starting from the pit lane and finishing 17th with a penalty for a safety car infringement.

Sargeant made his first Q2 appearance of 2024 at the , qualifying 13th, but retired from the race after spinning out. After finishing last of the running drivers at both the Spanish and Austrian Grands Prix, an improved showing at the saw him qualify 12th and finish 11th, his best qualifying and race results of the season.

Sargeant was released from Williams after a heavy crash at the . On the day after the , Williams announced that Sargeant would be replaced by Carlos Sainz Jr. at the team for the season. Amid speculation that Sargeant's position at Williams was at imminent risk, Williams team principal James Vowles commented that the team was "continually evaluating it" and that the sport was a "meritocracy", whilst Sargeant remarked that he would "fight no matter what the situation is". Formula One returned from its summer break at the , at which Sargeant crashed heavily in practice, forcing him to miss qualifying as the car could not be repaired in time. He would finish the race in 16th place. Two days after the race, Sargeant was released from the team with immediate effect and was replaced by Formula 2 driver Franco Colapinto for the remainder of the 2024 season. Vowles stated that the decision "gives Williams the best chance to compete for points" over the remaining nine races, and later commented that keeping Sargeant for the second half would be "almost unfair."

Prior to the season, he withdrew from his seat. In an interview on August 14, 2025, Sargeant stated; "coming off of that [ Formula One] — obviously it was a hectic, intense, emotionally challenging, physically demanding — my mind just felt like it needed a little break, I feel like a lot of people may struggle to understand that until you’re in that position, but I just needed to let the whole experience sink in, let my body naturally recover and start to reassess what it wanted to do. And, naturally, it was racing in the end" following his Formula One stint with Williams. He explained further that he "was extremely grateful for that opportunity with IDEC, and the test I did with the team in December last year went really well, but things were a bit rushed, and people around me didn’t understand the position I was in. I didn’t sign any contracts; I didn’t want to lock myself into anything, as I was still unsure at that point where I wanted to be. I needed more time.”
