Cadillac’s 2026 F1 favourite “tired” of speculation over switch
"I’ve had the carrot i🅘n front of me for a while. I’m kind of tired of that being the case..."
Colton Herta has admitted he’s “tired” of the speculation surrounding his potential switch from IndyCar to F1.
Herꦓta’s name has been constantly mentioned as a possible candida⛦te to join the F1 grid in recent years.
The American driver came closꦦe in 2023 with AlphaTauri, but due to not having enough super licence points, the te👍am ultimately opted for Nyck de Vries.
Herta has been heavily linked wi♏th Cadillac, which is expected to join the grid in 2026 as F1's 11th teܫam.
However, the 24-year-old is bored of the speculation over a possible move to ꦺF1.
“I’ve kind of be✤en dragged around in this talk for, it feels like, half a decade now,” he said, as quoted by .
“I’ve had the carrot in front of me for a while. I’m kind of tired of that being the case, and 𝕴I just want to drive at this point and focus on IndyCar this year and focus 🐷on winning a championship, and if something arises out of that, I’d have to think about it.
“It’s still not a for sure thing. All my friends and family are h𒅌ere in the US, and I don’t know anybody where I’m going, so it’s a big decision to make if I have to make that decision.”
Currently, Herta has 39 super licence points, one short of the requ🐻ired 40.
Herta appea🌠red unconcerned about his super licence situation, stating, “I’ll be alright 🐟either way”.
“I guess the answer to that is I didn’t even know w🍎hat the math was to get into - to get a super licence,” he said.
“If it happens, it happens, great, and then I’ll have a decision to make, if I’m still wanted. If it doesn’t happen, then poor me, I’m stuck racing IndyCars. I’ll be 🔯alright either way.”
