Colton Herta to run Cadillac FP1 in Brazil as FIA superlicense quest continues

Cadillac test driver Colton Herta will conduct his sixth Friday practice session of the F1 season at this weekend's Sao Paulo GP to collect his missing FIA superlicense point required to race in the series.

Herta, who has been building up for an F1 campaign with private testing, FP1 sessions and a troubled F2 campaign, needs 40 points to obtain the required FIA superlicense. Cadillac believed the former IndyCar ace had reached that threshold last week in Mexico, but it soon emerged the Californian was still one point shy amid confusion over his previous IndyCar results.
