It has been reported that Team Penske’s Will Power could replace Herta at Andretti Global, with the Californian driver rumoured to be after the required 40 superlicence points required for a seat in F1 with the all-American team. With Sergio Perez<\/a> and Valtteri Bottas<\/a> now confirmed to be spearheading Cadillac F1 in 2026 on a multi-year contract, there is time for the young American to ready himself.<\/p>\n Colton Herta, Andretti Global<\/p>\n Photo by: Penske Entertainment<\/p>\n This comes as the driver is sitting in sixth place in the drivers’ championship and with just one race left, is unable to score the required superlicence points to transfer to F1. He would have to finish fourth to make the move. He will now have to wait until at least 2027 to enter the championship.<\/p>\n Herta was further asked to clarify the rumours as he was told that without rejecting them, the chatter would continue.<\/p>\n \u201cIt does, but it also makes people talk about me more.\u00a0Maybe even raises my stock a little.\u201d<\/p>\n He was asked a third time, but deflected the question once again.<\/p>\n Dan Towriss, CEO of TWG Motorsports behind Andretti Global as well as the Cadillac F1 team, also remained tight-lipped regarding the movement of the driver.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s not what we\u2019re reporting today,” he said bluntly.\u00a0<\/p>\n Furthermore, Red Bull’s former CEO and team principal Christian Horner has also been connected to the General Motors-backed team. This time Towriss was more firm in his response.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThere have been no talks with Christian Horner. No plans to do that,\u201d Towriss confirmed. \u201cI\u2019d like to officially shut down that rumour.\u201d<\/p>\n While Cadillac is aiming to join the F1 grid, leveraging its popularity in the United States, the team has chosen not to opt for American drivers. Despite this, Perez and Bottas have 26 seasons of experience between them, making them a solid choice for the new team.<\/p>\n In this article<\/p>\n Be the first to know and subscribe for real-time news email updates on these topics<\/p>\n Subscribe to news alerts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"American IndyCar driver Colton Herta has remained rather coy regarding his possible future in Formula 1.
