American driver Colton Herta has explained how his unique daily routine based near Cadillac F1 Team's facility is sharpening his preparations for a potential grid promotion.
Serving as Cadillac's official test driver, Herta moved into European junior single-seater racing specifically to close the gap on the 40 superlicence points required to compete in Formula 1. Although his championship standings position fell short of initial internal targets, a series of FP1 outings culminated in Sao Paulo to officially secure his 40th point.
The physical proximity between his junior team's Silverstone base and Cadillac's operational headquarters has allowed the 26-year-old to move fluidly between both environments throughout the year.
"There are a lot of positives to the series," Herta told media outlets including RacingNews365 following his FP1 outing at the Circuit of the Americas. He noted that racing on identical Grand Prix weekends provides invaluable insight into the operational flow of a race weekend.
"You're in the eyes of the Formula 1 teams, and they see first-hand what you can do. You're running on the same race tracks that you will be racing on, which is a big one," Herta added regarding the benefits of his European campaign.
While Sergio Perez remains secured within the squad, the remaining seat at Cadillac continues to fuel paddock speculation regarding Herta's ultimate promotion prospects.
