Herta Still Aiming for F1 by 2028
Herta said Cadillac discussions continue as he works on simulator and test duties, while his F2 results have left an F1 seat uncertain.
- Colton Herta, former IndyCar frontrunner, sits 19th in the Formula 2 standings with 26 points, falling short of the top-10 finish Cadillac CEO Dan Towriss expected.

- Events in Qatar and Abu Dhabi face potential disruption due to the war in Iran. Herta is preparing as if two races remain in the season.
