IndyCar driver Colton Herta remains one point short of the 40 points required to qualify for an FIA Formula 1 superlicence, according to reports published on October 31, 2026.
Despite appearing to have reached the 40-point threshold through his results in the NTT IndyCar Series, the FIA's superlicence points system leaves Herta a single point shy of eligibility. The 24-year-old American has been linked with a potential move to Formula 1, but the points deficit means he would need an additional result or a waiver to meet the licensing requirements.
