Andretti-Cadillac Eyes Herta for 2026 F1 Entry with GM Backing
TL;DR Summary
Cadillac's entry into Formula 1 as the 11th team in 2026 has sparked interest in Colton Herta as a potential driver. Mario Andretti confirmed Herta, who recently finished second in the 2024 IndyCar championship, as a frontrunner for the team. However, Herta needs to secure more FIA Super License points to qualify for an F1 seat. Options to achieve this include finishing higher in the IndyCar standings or participating in F1 practice sessions. The team plans to pair Herta with a veteran driver, but no decisions are imminent.
