赫塔获得另一次凯迪拉克F1练习机会以获得超级执照
凯迪拉克将给科尔顿·赫塔在巴西大奖赛上提供另一次练习机会，以帮助他获得最后一点积分，从而最终获得F1超级执照。尽管赫塔在墨西哥FP1的亮相原本被认为足以让他达到目标，但由于IndyCar网站上的错误，这一目标未能实现。
凯迪拉克将给科尔顿·赫塔在巴西大奖赛上提供另一次练习机会，以帮助他获得最后一点积分，从而最终获得F1超级执照。
这将是在本赛季中，赫塔与凯迪拉克的第六次FP1练习，他将取代塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯。车队原本只需要进行四次练习来满足新手的练习要求，但赫塔仍然缺少所需的40个超级执照积分。
尽管车队最初认为赫塔在墨西哥FP1的亮相将使他达到目标，但后来发现这是错误的，因为IndyCar网站上出现了错误。
这个错误让赫塔在IndyCar排名中从第七位变成了第六位，导致多算了两个额外的超级执照积分。
凯迪拉克今年早些时候确实确认了与FIA的错误计算，但在墨西哥大奖赛周末，赫塔需要再进行一节练习才能获得40分。
赫塔在2023年IndyCar中取得第10名获得1分，2024年取得亚军获得30分，2025年取得第7名获得4分，加上四个FP1赛段的积分（赫塔在蒙扎的里程不足，无法获得超级驾照积分），目前他共有39分。
凯迪拉克原本计划在年底前让赫塔再进行一节FP1练习，因为他是有望在下赛季接替瓦尔特里·博塔斯的车队主要竞争者之一。
但如果没有超级驾照，他就无法获得那个座位，所以凯迪拉克在第一个机会下为他完成最后所需的积分是一个合理的举动。
他在巴西获得积分也没有保证——因为他还需要在FP1中至少完成24圈才能达到必要的100公里以获得积分。
凯迪拉克在墨西哥遭遇了严重的可靠性问题，当时瓦尔特里·博塔斯的左前悬挂突然失效。
车队正在调查问题的原因，因为今年早些时候佩雷斯的车上也出现过类似的问题。
英文原文
Cadillac will give Colton Herta another practice outing at the Brazilian Grand Prix to earn him the last point he needs to finally secure his Formula 1 superlicence.
This will be Herta's sixth FP1 outing of the season with Cadillac and he'll replace Sergio Perez. The team only needed to do four to satisfy the rookie practice requirements - but Herta's still short of the 40 superlicence points needed.
That's despite the team initially believing Herta's Mexico FP1 appearance would get him there, which turned out to be wrong because of an error on IndyCar's website.
That error had Herta sixth in the IndyCar standings instead of seventh, creating a miscalculation of two extra superlicence points.
Cadillac did verify that erroneous calculation with the FIA earlier this year but it emerged over the Mexico GP weekend that Herta would need another session to get to 40 points.
Herta picks up one point for finishing 10th in IndyCar in 2023, 30 points for finishing runner-up in 2024, and four points for being seventh in 2025, which, with points for four FP1s (Herta didn't complete enough mileage at Monza to get the superlicence point), leaves him with 39 points currently.
Cadillac was already planning to run Herta in another FP1 session before the end of the year as he's one of the leading contenders to replace Valtteri Bottas in the team next season.
But he can't get that seat if he doesn't have a superlicence, so Cadillac ticking off the last point he needs at the first available opportunity is a logical move.
There's no guarantee he'll get the point in Brazil either - as he'll still need to complete at least 24 laps in FP1 to reach the necessary 100km to earn the point.
Cadillac suffered a major reliability issue in Mexico when Valtteri Bottas's front-left suspension failed dramatically.
The team is investigating the cause of the issue, having experienced similar problems on Perez's car earlier this year.
