Cadillac test driver Colton Herta is scheduled to take part in FP1 at this weekend’s Sao Paulo (Brazil) Grand Prix as he works to earn the missing FIA superlicence point needed to race in Formula 1. Motorsport.com reports this will be his sixth Friday practice session of the F1 season, built around time spent with private testing and earlier FP1 opportunities.
Herta’s effort is framed as part of a longer pathway toward an F1 campaign, with Motorsport.com noting prior preparation including private testing and a difficult Formula 2 season, alongside the superlicence requirements. The Race similarly says Cadillac will provide him with another practice outing in Brazil specifically to obtain the point required to secure the licence. While both outlets agree on the purpose and location of the session, Motorsport.com adds more detail on the number of FP1 outings and the context of Herta’s progression.
