Is Colton Herta still Cadillac’s best choice for an American Formula 1 driver?
Cadillac received initial approval to enter Formula 1 in 2026, sparking discussions around the potential of having an American driver like Andretti. The focus has shifted to Colton Herta, who has shown impressive speed in IndyCar with 14 poles and nine wins in 99 starts. Despite his success, there are still doubts about whether Herta is the best American option for Cadillac in F1. The Race delves deeper into Herta’s career to analyze his performance and potential in the world of Formula 1. While Herta has shown talent and consistency, the lack of experience on F1 tracks and with Pirelli tires could pose challenges for him compared to more seasoned drivers. Despite these hurdles, Herta’s speed, car control, and recent improvements position him as a strong contender for Cadillac’s potential F1 project.
