@TheMrJourneyer@vincenzolandino That's a recent report that GM wants Herta, but we also know Towriss has had a relationship with him for 8+ years and Andretti (of course) wanted him in '22 when they tried to buy Sauber. We just don't know enough yet, but a new owner NOT wanting Colton was my 1st thought.
@MercedesAMGF1 Kudos to the social/digital team, your coverage of this has been outstanding. You had people positioned everywhere, following Bono, etc. Very impressed, must have taken a lot of planning. Congrats to the marketing/social/digital team!
@ConorDaly22 Conor, can you get to the bottom of what happened with IndyCar's website to mistakenly show Colton ahead of Felix in the '25 standings, leading the FIA and Cadillac to miscount Colton's SL points?
βΌοΈ Colton Herta is still one point away from the 40 points needed to acquire a superlicence to race in F1.
The Race understands this is due to an error on IndyCar's website which has now been corrected earlier this week - which means Herta erroneously gained points for finishing 6th in IndyCar last year, when he actually finished 7th.
@cytrusf1@castellodesigns He has to pass a written test before he can get his SL. It's not automatically granted after 40 pts is reached. He has to apply for it.
@vincenzolandino Now we get to have a news cycle with everyone misinterpreting Derek Chang's remarks. Or simply taking them out of context. Everyone associated w/ Liberty/FOM has got to be more conscious of how they talk about fans.
@vincenzolandino I know you cover it, I'm on your mailing list & read all of it. But yeah, I think the PR is bad. He said fans won't watch every race "on television". Correct! I'm an F1 nerd so I was up at 3am to watch Malaysia, but most won't. He means they'll watch later on a different platform
