Reports say Colton Herta remains one superlicence point short

ESPN and Motorsport.com both reported that Colton Herta’s Formula 1 superlicence situation remains unresolved. The shared core detail is that Herta is still one point short of the total needed for an F1 superlicence.

Both outlets linked the confusion to the Mexico City Grand Prix. ESPN described it as a bizarre superlicence error that delayed Herta’s move, while Motorsport.com said the issue explains why he is still one point short.

Taken together, the reports indicate that Herta’s prospective step to Formula 1 has not moved forward because his superlicence total is still insufficient by one point.
