Cadillac F1 test driver Colton Herta officially confirms his move to Formula 2 next year, joining Hitech. This is a crucial step for the American IndyCar star, who left the series to secure the necessary FIA superlicence points for an F1 drive. At 25, Herta brings nine IndyCar wins and a runner-up finish last season to the F2 grid, where he'll be one of the more experienced competitors. He views it as an "amazing opportunity" to develop his skills and gain F1 environment experience as part of the "Cadillac F1 family." While Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas are slated for Cadillac's 2026 F1 debut, an American driver holds clear appeal for GM. Hitech is enjoying a strong F2 season, currently second in the teams' standings, offering Herta a competitive platform. This move puts Herta squarely on the path to qualify for F1, bolstering his chances as a future American contender for Cadillac.
