科尔顿·赫塔将在巴西参加凯迪拉克FP1练习，继续争取FIA超级驾照积分
凯迪拉克测试车手科尔顿·赫塔将在本周末的圣保罗大奖赛中进行他的第六次周五练习，以收集他参加F1赛事所需的缺失的FIA超级驾照积分。
科尔顿·赫塔将在巴西参加凯迪拉克FP1练习，继续争取FIA超级驾照积分
在巴西，科尔顿·赫塔将争取收集他参加一级方程式赛车所需的最终FIA超级驾照积分，这起因于他积分计算上的混乱
赫塔，通过私人测试、FP1练习和一场混乱的F2赛季来为F1赛事做准备，他需要40分才能获得所需的FIA超级驾照。凯迪拉克认为这位前印第安纳波利斯500英里赛冠军车手上周在墨西哥已经达到了积分门槛，但很快发现加利福尼亚人仍然差一分，因为对他的之前印第安纳波利斯500英里赛结果存在混淆。
凯迪拉克将纠正这一错误，通过让赫塔再次在塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯的车中参加另一个周五FP1练习，这将为车队赢得一分。车队每年只需要让一名新秀参加四次FP1练习，但圣保罗将是赫塔本赛季的第六次FP1练习，因为车队渴望赫塔最终获得执照。
这使车队在考虑保留现任车手瓦尔特里·博塔斯与佩雷斯一起续约第二年，或者让赫塔在2027年首次参加F1比赛时保持选择权。
"我非常期待再次驾驶MAC-26赛车参加另一个FP1练习，"赫塔说。"英特拉戈斯是一个非常标志性的、历史悠久的赛道，在那里驾驶F1赛车将是一次令人兴奋的经历。
"今年我每次上车，从巴塞罗那到布达佩斯，COTA和墨西哥城，我都感到越来越舒适，与工程团队的合作也越来越好。我在巴西周五上午的目标是相同的：干净利落地执行练习计划，为Checo和工程师们提供最好的设置数据，以开始他们的周末，并继续在赛车中取得进步。我感谢车队给我这个机会。"
凯迪拉克车队在墨西哥周末的激烈比赛中遭遇重创后，前往巴西，而这次周末的赛事以博塔斯因突然的前左悬挂故障而发生的速度事故告终。车队负责人马尔钦·布德科夫斯基表示，车队已经"实施了缓解措施"以避免类似事件再次发生。
"在赛后调查之后，瓦尔特里遭遇了悬挂故障，我们已经采取了缓解措施以防止未来再次发生,"布德科夫斯基说。"我也很高兴看到科尔顿回归MAC-26，进行另一场FP1练习，取代了切科。他在练习中的成长令人印象深刻，他的反馈对我们2027年的发展计划仍然非常宝贵。
赫塔在争取超级驾照的过程中遇到了阻碍，当他的赛车在蒙扎发生故障时，26岁的他未能达到获得积分所需的100公里阈值。在巴西，完成因特拉戈斯赛道的24圈将满足这一要求。

Colton Herta to run Cadillac FP1 in Brazil as FIA superlicense quest continues
In Brazil, Colton Herta will aim to collect his final FIA superlicense point required to race in Formula 1 following confusion over his points tally
Cadillac test driver Colton Herta will conduct his sixth Friday practice session of the F1 season at this weekend's Sao Paulo GP to collect his missing FIA superlicense point required to race in the series.
Herta, who has been building up for an F1 campaign with private testing, FP1 sessions and a troubled F2 campaign, needs 40 points to obtain the required FIA superlicense. Cadillac believed the former IndyCar ace had reached that threshold last week in Mexico, but it soon emerged the Californian was still one point shy amid confusion over his previous IndyCar results.
Cadillac will now rectify that error by handing Herta another Friday FP1 session in Sergio Perez's car, which yields a single point. Teams are only required to run a rookie in four FP1 sessions per year, but Sao Paulo will be Herta's sixth of the season as the squad is keen for Herta to finally obtain the license.
That allows the team to keep its options open as it considers retaining incumbent Valtteri Bottas for a second year alongside Perez, or handing Herta his F1 debut in 2027.
"I’m really looking forward to getting back behind the wheel of the MAC-26 for another FP1 session," Herta said. "Interlagos is such an iconic, historic track, and driving an F1 car around there is going to be an awesome experience.
"Every time I’ve stepped into the car this year, from Barcelona to Budapest, COTA and Mexico City, I’ve felt more comfortable and better integrated with the engineering team. My goal for Friday morning in Brazil is the same: execute the run plan cleanly, give Checo and the engineers the best possible setup data to start their weekend, and keep building on my progress in the car. I’m grateful to the team for giving me this opportunity."
Cadillac heads to Brazil after a bruising Mexico weekend, which ended with Bottas suffering a high-speed crash in the race due to a sudden front-left suspension failure. Team principal Marcin Budkowski said the team had "implemented mitigations" to avoid a repeat.
"Following our post-race investigations, Valtteri suffered a suspension failure, and we have implemented mitigations going forward," Budkowski said. "I’m also pleased to see Colton return to the MAC-26 for another FP1 outing, stepping in for Checo. His growth in the car across his sessions has been impressive, and his feedback remains invaluable to our 2027 development program."
Herta's bid to obtain his superlicense hit a snag when his car broke down in Monza, leaving the 26-year-old short of the 100km threshold required for the session to award a point. In Brazil, 24 laps of the Interlagos circuit will satisfy that requirement.
