Herta says he is still targeting Formula 1 by 2028

Multiple outlets reported that Colton Herta remains focused on a move to Formula 1 by 2028. Motorsport.com summarized his position with Herta saying he still has a chance of making that target.

Autosport reported that Herta framed the challenge realistically, saying it would be foolish to expect to be on the pace right away or ready to win in his first race. In that context, he said that even if he were older, the drivers already there are as fast as anyone.

Autosport also referred to his pursuit of an F1 seat as part of his long-running Formula 1 ambition.
