Colton Herta is hoping to impress Cadillac next year in F2 as he makes a dramatic switch from IndyCar.
Colton Herta sees his move to Formula 2 as his final chance to reach Formula 1, aiming to secure a full-time spot on the grid after years in IndyCar with Hitech for the 2026 season. He aims to earn a super licence and impress Cadillac to prove his worth for a Formula 1 seat, while also undertaking development driver duties for the team’s debut season in F1 alongside his F2 commitments. Despite being close to F1 in the past, Herta believes this opportunity offers a real chance to break into the series after turning down IndyCar. Without specific expectations, his main focus is learning the tracks and Pirelli tyres as a test driver, emphasizing the importance of understanding the technical aspects to contribute effectively to the team’s development.
