F1 was once Colton Herta's goal; now he's not sure. But the young Andretti Global IndyCar drive also needs to qualify.

Colton Herta is focused on INDYCAR amid speculation that he could give up his current ride to drive for Formula 1.

Cadillac has stressed its commitment to follow the rules on the eligibility of an American IndyCar star who may lack the required Super Licence points.

IndyCar star Colton Herta says he is “not sure” that he wants to join Cadillac’s Formula 1 programme in 2026 despite being seriously considered for a grand prix seat. Cadillac has made no secret of its desire to have an American driver on the grid when it joins F1 next year, with Andretti IndyCar driver Herta believed to be its favourite contender.

Colton Herta raised eyebrows when the IndyCar driver said he’d have to think about a move to Formula 1 with the new Cadillac team should he earn eligibility for the global series.
