for an F3 driver than it does one in IndyCar.in Indy Lights in 2021 and 1in the Formula Regional Americas championship in 2020, could now be hired by an F1 team, with his 43 Super License points. Herta cannot.

Added Ericsson, who raced five years in F1: “I understand you have rules for a reason. But the way IndyCar is undervalued in the F1 world is pretty ridiculous. To value IndyCar between F2 and F3, those are like kids racing pretty much. That’s what I’m more upset about. If you’re in the top-10 in the IndyCar championship, for me, you’re 100% qualified to drive in F1.

“Half the field is F1-capable,” Brown said a week ago. “If someone who’s won a lot of IndyCar races isn’t eligible for a Super License, then I think we need to review the Super License system.” If nothing changes, Herta could still finish top-3 in points in IndyCar in 2023 and earn himself a Super License, but who’s to say he’s going to have anywhere he can use it?
