Herta F2 move reported amid 2028 F1 aim

News - 2026-10-07 - By Jenny Marsh

Autosport linked Colton Herta with a reported Formula 2 move tied to a 2028 Formula 1 target, while BBC Sport highlighted Jamie Chadwick’s F1 test.

Autosport reported that Colton Herta is pursuing a Formula 2 move as part of a longer-term attempt to reach Formula 1 by 2028. The move is not confirmed in the supplied material, so it remains a reported development rather than an official announcement.

Separately, BBC Sport reported that Jamie Chadwick said driving a Formula 1 car was at the top of her bucket list, and described testing one as a career highlight. That places Chadwick in the latest stream of junior-category names linked with F1 opportunities, even if no race seat development is stated here.

BBC Sport’s episode listings also place Kimi Antonelli and Ollie Bearman in the spotlight around Cadillac’s 2026 preparations, while Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez are described in the series as making a comeback for Cadillac. Those details come from programme summaries rather than formal team announcements in the supplied sources.
