Colton Herta reported eligible for F1 superlicence

Autosport reported Colton Herta has obtained the final FIA superlicence point after a sixth 2026 Friday practice outing with Cadillac at Interlagos.

Autosport reported that Colton Herta has obtained the final FIA superlicence point required for Formula 1 eligibility after completing his sixth Friday practice session of the 2026 season at Interlagos. In a separate earlier report, the same outlet said Herta was set to drive Cadillac’s FP1 car at the Brazil Grand Prix specifically to collect the remaining point.

There is no official confirmation in the supplied material, so the development remains reported rather than confirmed. Autosport identified Herta as a Cadillac Formula 1 test driver in its coverage of the Interlagos session.

The reported step would be relevant for Cadillac F1 Team in its first Formula 1 season in 2026. The American entrant has competed only in 2026 so far and has no Grand Prix wins or constructors' titles.
