The credibility of F1’s superlicence system is at stake over the FIA’s decision on Colton Herta, reckons CEO Stefano Domenicali ⬇️
IndyCar front-runner Herta has emerged as a contender for a seat at AlphaTauri for next season, with Red Bull eager to tap in to the impact his switch to F1 could have on the American market.
There are concerns from some teams that bending the rules to allow Herta in would set a bad precedent, and could lessen the attraction of the FIA’s traditional ladder of F3 and F2. “It is clear that an American driver can create a lot of interest in a rapidly growing market such as the US at the moment,” he said.
“If Herta has the necessary numbers to race in Formula 1, we would be delighted and welcome him with open arms,” he said.
