American driver Colton Herta will participate in the first free practice session for Cadillac at the Brazilian Grand Prix as he continues his pursuit of an FIA Formula 1 superlicence. The IndyCar race winner is set to take the wheel during FP1 at Interlagos, marking another step in his bid to meet the eligibility requirements for a full-time F1 seat.
Herta, who currently competes for Andretti Global in the NTT IndyCar Series, has been linked with a potential move to Formula 1 through the Cadillac-backed entry. The Brazilian GP practice run will provide him with valuable mileage in current-spec machinery and contribute to the 40-point superlicence threshold mandated by the FIA.
