Loudon: We can't choose a driver without a super license.

Loudon: We can't choose a driver without a super license.

      Colton Hurt is named among the contenders for a place in the new Cadillac team, but the American driver does not have enough points to obtain a super license, which entitles him to compete in Formula 1. To score the necessary forty points, Colton must finish the IndyCar season in 2025 at least fourth place.

      Cadillac CEO Graham Loudon said that when choosing drivers, the team will take into account the fact that Herta does not have a super license yet.

      "Colton doesn't have enough points to get a super license, and if this continues, it will be a clear obstacle for him," Racingnews365 quoted Graham Loudon as saying. "We can't choose a rider who doesn't have enough points. This is the real world in which we live, and it is necessary to take this point into account.

      Does the lack of a super license mean that he cannot drive a racing car? No, because he's an incredibly talented racer, so it's not surprising that we're considering him along with others.

      Herta is not the first and will not be the last to find himself in such an uncertain situation due to a super license. We just have to live with it. These are the rules, and we have to respect them."
