Red Bull Racing Trample F1 American Dream, Giving Up on It's Best Bet Since Max Verstappen

Colton Herta is an American driver who currently races for Andretti Autosport in the IndyCar series. Red Bull Racing's sister team, AlphaTauri, is planning to sign Hertan for the coming seasons. Pierre Gasly is currently a driver for Red Bulls Racing. Herton's move to F1 is on hold because he does not have a Super Licence.

Colton Herta is 8 points short of the required points to drive in Formula 1. Red Bull is trying to induct him into the team on the basis of clauses in the regulations introduced during COVID-19. FIA spokesperson says force majeure cannot be used for Herts. The FIA Super Licence is a pre-requisite for any driver from any series.

As F1 flirtations flicker, O'Ward is IndyCar's great hope

July of 2022 was a heady time for IndyCar drivers who harbored Formula One dreams. The long-broken bridge that once sent Michael Andretti and Sebastien Bourdais from IndyCar's mountaintop to F1's taller peak was being rebuilt, or so we thought, as no fewer than three Indy aces began testing with McLaren. Less than two years later, only one of the…

Andretti's US F1 driver choice has become more complicated

It might not be Andretti's top priority right this moment - but who on earth is it going to choose to be its American driver if it secures a Formula 1 team against the odds? There was a time when that person was obviously going to be Colton Herta but things have changed. At the very least, Herta has some stiff competition to be the number one pick,…

So I guess we should thank pretty much…
