- What's up, GQ?
I'm Logan Sargeant, Formula One driver,
and these are my essentials.
[upbeat music]
So this here is my racing helmet.
The helmet for a driver is everything,
'cause it's really one of the only ways
that we get to express ourselves.
I've always been big in representing my country.
And being the only American F1,
and I've gone through the ladder of formula cars
racing in Europe and honestly,
at times you feel like a bit of an outsider.
You don't feel a hundred percent welcome,
to be honest with you.
But, you know, now I'm there
and I've put in the work to get there.
You know, I feel like I was built for this moment
and I'm ready for it.
It means a lot to me, I develop it year to year,
update my signature.
It's a special piece
and it's really our only chance to be ourselves.

♪ Knees weak, arms are heavy. ♪
♪ There's vomit on his sweater already, long spaghetti ♪
♪ He's nervous, on the surface, he looks calm and ready ♪
♪ Drop bombs ♪
It's a good song.
[upbeat music]
So we got an "8 Mile" CD right here.
I'm just calling out one track, which is "Lose Yourself".
It is literally my hype song.
It's always been that song to get me
in the mode I need to get into before a race.
You know, you've been through it,
you've done everything to get to that moment,
you gotta make it count, as it says.
[upbeat music]
Miami Heat means a lot to me.
Growing up as a kid in South Florida,
like I was in prime time of D. Wade, LeBron, Chris Bosh,
in Miami, winning championship.
You know, I remember going to the games as a kid
and it just, it's always, you know, sat close to my heart.
We got Jimmy Butler now and he's crushing it,
so it's good to see.
I think my first game was Miami Heat versus Boston Celtics
in like 2010 maybe.
I remember I was sitting in row two with a few of my friends
and it was a cool night.
My passport, I ain't going anywhere without this.
It's a really cool sort of reminder
of all the places you've been from stamps to visas,
from places I've lived for, you know, racing.
You know, it really just brings back memories
of all the good times, even the bad times.
It's cool to look back through it and see
all the different and cool places that I've been
throughout my career and throughout the last few years.
I got too many stamps.
So I've got like a 10 year passport here,
and I have to renew it every like two, three years
because we're just traveling too much
and the amount of stamps we get is insane.
[gentle upbeat music]
That is fantastic.
Lemonade Arnold Palmer.
Being from Florida, I feel like that is like
what reminds me of home, at least.
I feel like a nice day on the boat.
It's hot, get a lemonade in.
As a kid, we did a lot of homemade lemonade,
but in the more recent years,
just get a good jug of lemonade from Publix or something
and [laughs] make a nice ice cold glass.
Can we leave the lemonade over here? [laughs]
- [Crew Member] Yeah, yeah. It was so good.
[upbeat music]
- This movie was just one of my favorites.
I just feel like Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie,
what a movie.
They did such a good job.
"The Wolf of Wall Street" first came out,
my parents wouldn't let me watch it
'cause they thought I was too young.
So it took me like a few years
before I actually ended up watching it.
I probably watched "Wolf of Wall Street"
like a good six times.
Six, seven times probably.
'Cause it's so long, it's more like
when I get home after a weekend or
I'm just chilling on the couch after
going out the night before.
It's one of those movies where I can just lay there,
chill out, and watch it and just completely chill.
Have a good laugh as well, 'cause it's such a good movie.
A lot of hours on "Wolf Wall Street," man. [laughs]
[upbeat music]
This is my absolute downfall.
This is... [laughs]
This is the one thing that gets me.
I got a good diet for the most part,
but when it comes to desserts,
you know, what I crave, it's obviously a nice ice cream.
I like to mix it up, so I mix and match flavors.
Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry,
mint chocolate chip, whatever.
I don't know how I feel like,
'cause I started having as a kid.
It's just like been part of my life.
Ice cream's my way back home, I guess you can say.
After a long tough day, you know, a bowl of ice cream is,
it's tough to beat, man.
Hair gel.
[gentle upbeat music]
I take a bit of pride in my hair.
I'm not like a hair dryer kind of guy.
I just, I get a towel, I get it dry as quick as I can
and then just get some hair gel in it.
Nothing too crazy.
It's hard though because, you know,
we have helmet hair from racing.
You know, our hair gets all messy,
so it's something we kinda gotta try and stay on top of.
But I feel like I'm quite lucky.
Like my hair naturally goes in generally a good direction.
I don't have to do too much,
just a little bit of hair gel, maybe a touch a hairspray
and we're good to go.
I got my guy in London who I, you know, I always go to.
I can't cheat on my barber, that's for sure.
Burger sauce.
[gentle upbeat music]
I like to get a nice cheeseburger.
Doesn't have to be too crazy,
just cheeseburger, lettuce, ketchup, mustard.
That's sort of my thing.
Jalapenos.
Yeah, it's kinda crazy 'cause like,
you know, I'm relatively skinny
and I'm like pretty much on the weight limit
of what we're allowed to be at in F1,
so I gotta be careful 'cause if I put on too much weight,
then I start to be at a disadvantage of course.
So, we gotta keep a good diet to stay in shape
and also to stay within the weight limit
'cause that equals performance.
So that's a big part of our career.
I always gotta make space for my cheat meal,
get some burger sauce in there.
[gentle upbeat music]
F1, it's more like a summer sport.
We're always in, you know, good climates and it's always
sunny, hot, so, you know, you gotta protect the eyes.
But at the same time, I feel like you can really sort of
explore like your look with different styles of sunglasses.
You can change your look in so many different ways.
And I dunno, that's something I love about 'em.
I feel like it's a good sense of fashion to switch it up.
And if you're having a tough day,
sometimes it's nice just throw your sunglasses on,
don't talk to me and [laughs] keep moving.
So these are...
I dunno if I'm allowed to say Dolce.
Dolce sunglasses.
And yeah, they just mask some stuff.
And yeah, I like 'em.
[upbeat music]
So, my signature winning move.
This one, I'm not gonna lie, I can't take full credit.
My trainer actually brought this one to me.
I remember we were talking about it.
We were actually going through like a tough year in 2019.
Going into 2020,
we had just signed with the best team in F3
and he's like, "We're gonna win a race this year
and we're gonna do this."
And [laughs] we brought it to life.
The thing is, I feel like everyone just,
you know, the basics, just the fist pumps, whatever,
but I wanna bring something different.
I'm not gonna lie, quite a few times practice in the mirror,
you know, you gotta get the movement right.
I think it looks pretty damn good.
[upbeat music]
What a team, I've been watching them since I was a kid.
Miami through and through when it comes to sports.
Florida Panthers, Miami Dolphins, Miami Heat, Miami Marlins,
anything to do Miami, I'm there.
A lot of love for the Miami Dolphins
and I hope we're back to winning Super Bowls sometime soon.
I started racing just down the road from the Hard Rock
in Homestead, which was, you know, a car track
basically on a parking lot.
The fact that I started there and now, I'm coming back home
to have my first, racing cars in America,
which is on a parking lot just up the road
around the Hard Rock, is pretty insane.
And then to have home crowd, home atmosphere,
family and friends there, is gonna be special.
But obviously, it's a challenge
'cause I've never been to the track,
but I wanna make it one of my best.
Thanks, GQ.
I hope you guys learned a little bit about me
from my essentials.
I'll see you at the track.
