The Cadillac Formula 1 Team announced that nine-time
NTT IndyCar Series race winner Herta will serve as a test driver as the team prepares to join the grid for the 2026 FIA Formula 1 World Championship season.
ANALYSIS
Herta's dream has been to compete in Formula 1 and it appears he's stepping back in that direction after a few years racing with IndyCar. He'll be a test driver for the new Cadillac F1 team and that opens the door to Herta potentially competing next season in F2. "I'm incredibly excited to be joining the Cadillac Formula 1 Team as a test driver," Herta said. "This is a dream opportunity, and one I've been working toward for a long time. To be part of Cadillac F1's entry at such a pivotal time is something I couldn't pass up."
