Colton Herta acquires the first house in his life, and it stands in America, as the California racer connects his future with this country. However, he does not rule out the possibility that – if the right opportunity presents itself – he can still move to Formula 1.
But for now, Colton will continue to drive IndyCar for the Andretti Autosport team, and his immediate plans are to test with the BMW M Team RLL in preparation for the 24 Hours of Daytona marathon to be held in January.
“It looks like there won’t be an opportunity to go to F1, but I’ve done it normally,” Herta said in the US edition of Racer. – To be honest, I was determined that I could try this championship, and in the future such an opportunity may still arise. But IndyCar has never been a backup plan for me, I’m always happy to be in this series and drive these cars.
There is a very high level of rivalry so it is very interesting to race. Driving modern IndyCars is a pleasure, they have a good power-to-weight ratio and great tires so everything is great.
As for Formula 1, it seems that this topic is no longer relevant. It could be closed completely, at least before 2023.”
Colton Herta’s name sounded both in the context of the Andretti Global project, which is headed by Michael Andretti, and later, when Red Bull wanted to sign a contract with a 22-year-old American to replace Pierre Gasly. in AlphaTauri, but the FIA refused to make an exception for him, and he couldn’t get a super license.
“Conversations about Formula 1 are already tired, although if your name is often flashed in the press, it can speed up some processes, but this is not always for the better,” Herta continued. – I don’t think this has affected my situation much, but it’s nice to know that you’re interested. I’m not talking about the public that likes to comment on everything on the internet, but about the professionals who make decisions in race teams.
There were several comments on the internet, some criticized me, but many expressed their support, and it was great. Some of the comments made me laugh, but in general I don’t take all this too seriously because my life is going great. I earn my living driving race cars, so if people write all kinds of crap about me, that’s okay too. It’s all because I have such a great job!”
