“I assume the reply to that’s I didn’t even know what the mathematics was to get a Tremendous License,” Herta advised IndyStar, which requested if he felt any stress realizing he wanted to complete 4th or higher within the 2025 IndyCar title race to not want particular clearance to be accredited for a possible future F1 seat. In an equation that requires 40 factors and takes into consideration a driver’s final three seasons, Herta sits at 31 from his 2024 runner-up marketing campaign (price 30 factors) and a 2023 season the place he settled for tenth (1 level).
