Colton Herta was once tipped to join the F1 grid but was denied an FIA exemption from the Super Licence rule. He’s now being tipped as a favourite for Andretti drive should the American outfit form a team.
Colton Herta provided an update on his pursuit of a future Formula 1 drive. He was rumored to join AlphaTauri for the 2023 season, but Red Bull chose Nyck de Vries instead. Herta’s best chance for a Formula 1 drive now seems to be with Michael Andretti’s plan to establish his own team, which is currently in discussions with F1’s commercial rights holder. Herta, who currently races for Andretti’s IndyCar team, is a top contender for an F1 drive if the bid is successful. While Herta is still interested in moving to F1, his primary focus at the moment is on IndyCar.
