Tom Brady may not have been at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, but he did offer a Formula One driver a FaceTime full of encouragement leading into the race early Sunday morning. 

Logan Sargeant, the 22-year-old American who drives for Williams Racing, received a FaceTime from Brady, which the team posted to its social media account. Brady was expected to be at the Grand Prix, among the many other celebrities and VIPs F1 wanted for its return to Las Vegas since the 1980s. 

"I heard you were meant to be here in Vegas, but we’ll do you proud," Sargeant said after his qualifying race put Williams in seventh grid position for the Grand Prix, a great accomplishment for the rookie.

"Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it, but I’m definitely going to be watching and pulling for you, man," Brady responded. "You had a great qualifying and I know you’re ready to go."

Sargeant went on to tell Brady about how he would race in carting in Las Vegas earlier in his career, so to come full circle with F1 was "insane."
