P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Andretti still has to get round the negotiating table with F1 – but if it does make it onto the grid against the odds, among its priorities will be to have an American driver in its line-up. But since that desire was first stated, the choice among its IndyCar options is now less straightforward
season. Overall, while Kyle Kirkwood has shown impressive speed and potential, Colton Herta remains the more consistent and experienced driver for Andretti. Despite Kirkwood scoring more wins in the 2023 season, Herta has a stronger track record over the past four years. Additionally, Herta has the backing and support of the team, making him a favored choice. While it’s not Andretti’s top priority at the moment, if they secure a Formula 1 team, the American driver they choose is likely to be Colton Herta.
