Colton Herta is worth bending the rules.
Colton Herta currently seems to be just one step away from a Formula 1 ride, the first for an American since 2015 and the first for a former IndyCar series driver since 2009. Unfortunately, that hurdle is his eligibility for an FIA super license, and a lukewarm reception fromseems to indicate that his attempts to qualify for a license on the basis of force majeure are not headed for an easy yes.
Under the new rules, a driver must earn 40 points scored on a scale designed by the FIA over three of the past four years. The vast majority of these points are awarded by end-of-year championship standings in a category the FIA deems relevant to F1 progress, with substantial weight being given to the F1-supporting Formula 2 and Formula 3.
So the system would have kept Verstappen out. Other than that, what impact has the super license rule set had on F1? It has so far been publicly known to keep just one other driver out of the series, Pato O'Ward. The McLaren IndyCar star has since won four times in the series en route to championship finishes of fourth and third.
the one-year Haas driver easily qualified for a super license off the back of a fifth-place finish in the 2020 Formula 2 season and third in the 2022 GP3 season. Mazepin's disastrous career ended with him finishing 21st in his lone season attempting the 20-driver championship.
