Cadillac has a decision to make on its F1 driver line-up for the 2026 season and this American hopeful has been linked with the seat.
US F1 hopeful Colton Herta has addressed the continued links to a Cadillac seat for the 2026 season. General Motors is set to enter the F1 grid next year under the Cadillac brand, expanding the grid to 22 cars. Despite the FIA’s refusal to grant him a super licence in 2023, Herta’s potential move to F1 remains a hot topic. To secure a super licence, Herta must finish at least fourth in the championship this year. Herta expressed fatigue over the ongoing speculation surrounding his future and emphasized his focus on winning an IndyCar championship. While he remains open to a future in F1, the decision to switch series would be a significant one due to personal ties and considerations.
