Colton Herta, transitioning from the NTT IndyCar Series, will participate in four practice sessions with the Cadillac Formula 1 team in 2026. This involvement is part of Cadillac's rookie driver requirement, which mandates that teams run a driver with no more than two race starts during practice sessions. Herta's first outing will occur at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix in mid-June, where he will take over the car from regular drivers Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas, who will each miss two sessions.
