Colton Herta’s father believes a failed move to AlphaTauri F1 isn’t the end of his son’s dream F1 journey.
Colton Herta’s name suddenly popped up as a possible replacement for the AlphaTauri F1 team to ease Pierre Gasly’s move to the Alpine F1 team.

AlphaTauri’s sister team Red Bull tried to convince the FIA to apply force majeure and grant an exception, but the attempt failed and Red Bull lost hope of acquiring Colton Herta. It was revealed that he considered giving it up and replacing it. with Nick deVries.
It will undoubtedly be a blow for Colton Herta, but his father Bryan doesn’t think this will be his last chance to secure an F1 seat.

“He’s testing for the McLaren F1 team, so there’s an amazing opportunity ahead of him, but he’s also at Andretti Autosport.[IndyCar]an incredible opportunity. I am aware that it is
“It’s important to remember that he’s fine no matter what. He won’t be asking for sympathy.”

“Seems like everyone knew before us!” Brian Herta said of the AlphaTauri news.
“But I don’t even know if it will be ‘official’. I know we haven’t heard anything.”
“Colton never wanted to be a ‘special case’, so it’s kind of sad that it felt personal.”
“I think someone could say IndyCar’s success deserves more points, but on the other hand, I fully understand the FIA’s desire to protect the European ranking system.”
“Whatever they say, whatever they decide, I think that’s it. There’s no point arguing anyway.”
