It is, and has always been, the core issue with allowing F1 to completely control Europe in the manner that it has since Ecclestone raised its profile. F1 is a terrible neighbor, and a terrible member of the larger racing community. It is not alone in either thing, it's just bigger.

Good call imo. When they have a good bronze driver they're hard to beat in the class (Ben Keating and Patrick Kelly's stints come to mind). Herta and Hyundai both have fairly sizeable driver rosters atm so it shouldn't take long for driver announcements I'd reckon (Sargent + Chadwick)

Will Colton Herta win a race in Formula One? I don't know. Will Colton Herta inspire a generation of young American drivers to get into open-wheel racing as opposed to NASCAR? I can only hope. Will I be miserable the whole time? YOU BET YOUR SWEET ASS

And sure maybe a more fair comparison would be Scott Speed in F1 but frankly if Colton can't outperform a literal Minardi with two dead cylinders then I don't think I want to root for this guy anymore 🀷🏻

Alex Zanardi at Williams Christiano da Matta to Toyota Sebastien Bourdais at Toro Rosso As an Indycar driver, that's the floor. The ceiling is Juan Montoya and Jacques Villeneuve. Y'all can guess which ones Herta is going to be expected to perform like right out the gate

Okay he won the hypothetical F2 2026 title but then what? Gonna IMMEDIATELY tell Bottas and/or Checo that they were just hired to be seat warmers? Gonna do as others have suggested and give him the Pourchaire/Drugo treatment: make him sit on the sidelines hoping for a GTP seat to kill time?

Sure you can get maxed on superlicense points if you fart in the vicinity of an F2 podium (compared to needing to literally be Alex Palou to get those points in Indycar) but is getting 5th in the F2 championship and squeaking by on SL points really gonna convince anybody who wasn't before?

Fine, I'll real talk this shit. I've been avoiding it because I assumed Marshall went mad (even he assumed such on this story tbf) Colton to F2 is a dumb move for everyone involved. Unless he gets double digit wins his rookie year and wins the title, he's just opening himself up for more criticism
