Colton Herta says he didn’t want to get into F1 by force majeure - but by the FIA offering greater points reward for IndyCar success ⬇️
Herta, who has scored seven wins in his first four seasons of IndyCar racing and finished third and fifth in the 2020 and '21 championships, has only 32 of the required 40 points to be granted a superlicence.
"But from their point of view, with the current points structure, I get it. And I don't want to come in as 'an exception'." "I appreciate all the effort Zak has made for me – he's been great to me. There's been a lot of stuff in the news but he's been completely transparent to me all along, and it's been great to work with him."
But Herta said he had faith that both he and his team can improve sufficiently to become title contenders. Herta said his F1 dream is far from over, and that he also believes team owner Michael Andretti's dream of moving to F1 is still alive.
