WHAT IF Colton Herta fails in F2 with Hitech?

Indy Car driver and Cadillac F1 Team's test and reserve driver Colton Herta confirmed that he will join the Formula 2 grid in 2026 with Hitech Grand Prix.

Herta has Formula 1 in his sights and has the backing of the new-to-race Cadillac F1 Team. However, what if Herta fails in Formula 2? Will this change perception about Indy Car drivers?

It's good that Herta and Cadillac respect the culture of Motorsport in Europe and are taking a step back - with the hope to take two steps forward and race in Formula 1.

What do you think though? Should Indy Car drivers get a direct shot at Formula 1, just like F1 drivers get a direct shot at Indy Car, if they want to? Is Indy Car on par with Formula 1 as a Motorsport series?

Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah discuss these moot points and questions around Indy Car, Colton Herta, Formula 1, and of course, Formula 2.
