Cadillac Formula 1 Team has confirmed that it will hand Colton Herta four opportunities to get equipped with its car throughout the season.
The Cadillac Formula 1 Team will provide Colton Herta with four chances to drive their car during the season. Herta, a nine-time IndyCar race-winner who also competes in Formula 2, aims to transition to F1, and these opportunities mark a significant step in that direction.
As part of the team’s requirement to field rookies in four FP1 sessions, the 26-year-old will have his first outing at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix in June. Following that, he is slated to participate in three more races, which are yet to be confirmed.
Herta expressed his excitement about getting behind the wheel of the Cadillac F1 car and is eager to contribute to the team’s race weekends. Team Principal Graeme Lowdon praised Herta as a top talent and anticipates his growth and focus in his new role.
Herta recently completed a seat fitting for his F1 debut and will showcase his skills at the Miami Grand Prix. His participation in F2 has been rearranged due to the cancellation of certain races, aligning well with his F1 aspirations and responsibilities with Cadillac.
