The Andretti’s bid to become the 11th team on the F1 grid has been a long and, as of yet, unsuccessful one.

Ricciardo is believed to be signed through 2023 Norris signed an extension in January through 2025.Following growing frustration about his team’s entry into Formula 1, Mario Andretti has admitted he does not know how the sport could turn them down. McLaren head Zak Brown said last month he does not have an open F1 seat, with both Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo signed to long contracts.

O’Ward and Herta are former teammates - and were teammates in January on their winning Rolex car - and O’Ward also is trying to get his F1 license. The signing of Herta puts a wrinkle in current McLaren Ind圜ar driver Pato O’Ward’s hopes to move to F1. “This will be a great opportunity for me to gain some valuable experience in a new form of motorsport and learn from such an established team like McLaren F1.” “I want to thank McLaren for the opportunity to get my first laps in a Formula 1 car, which has always been on my racing bucket list,” Herta said. He drove the closing stint in January for the class victory at the Rolex 24 at Daytona and then teamed with Jimmie Johnson to finish a stunning second for the United States in the Race of Champions. Herta wants to race in F1 one day soon so that he’d still have a long enough runway to return to Ind圜ar to complete his career. He has won six Ind圜ar races and seven poles and is considered an Ind圜ar title contender. The Californian is the son of former racer Bryan Herta, who is his strategist in Ind圜ar. “The practice time with McLaren F1 will help provide Colton with valuable FIA Super License points, which is a goal of ours as we continue efforts to bring the Andretti brand back to the Formula One World Championship.” “We’re pleased to see this opportunity come together for Colton and look forward to seeing him take his first laps in an F1 car,” Michael Andretti said.
