The immediate future on the Formula 1 starting grid will see the regular presence of Alfa Romeo, a team that has been one step away from an agreement with another motorsport reality such asAndretti Autosport. The latter, in fact, failed to take over the Swiss team, with Michael Andretti’s team which will therefore continue its experience in IndyCar with its pilot Colton Herta. The 21-year-old American, holder of the record as the youngest driver to have won a race in the top American category – at just under 19 – thus lost the opportunity to be able to pass into the Circus, a goal not hidden at all by the Californian. Interviewed during an IndyCar Media Day, Herta reiterated his desire to be able to live an experience in F1, without necessarily having to speed up the times: “I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t want to go to Formula 1 – has explained – I would like to do things in my career, but many of them also need certain times. If you’re 28, unfortunately you can’t make your F1 debut, because that’s how it works. If the opportunity presents itself, I will take advantage of it at the right time. Obviously I’ll have to think about it, but it’s a step I want to take at some point in my experience. People – he added – he forgets that I am only 21 and excludes the fact that I can return to IndyCar in five years and race for another fifteen seasons, until I am 40 ”.
However, despite the will expressed in a precise way, Herta nevertheless underlined the pleasure of finding himself in IndyCar, where he has won 6 races from 2018 to today: “I am not at all disappointed with IndyCar – remarked – I like this series more than any other series in the world and I love to compete in that category. In any case, there are still several championships that I would like to try in my racing career, even outside of IndyCar “. Words that come just over a month after the first test scheduled in 2022, scheduled for February 27 in Saint Petersburg (Florida). On the occasion of the next season, Herta will take to the track with the Andretti team and with a teammate from the recent past in F1: Romain Grosjean.
