Alexander and Colton
Colton Herta has been recently denied an opportunity to make his big step into F1 and motorsports driver, Alexander Rossi has blatantly criticized the way F1 has treated the IndyCar driver.
Colton Herta ahead of the devastating news was well in line to secure a seat on the AlphaTauri team for next year, but his dreams were brought to a halt after Red Bull decided to withdraw their support for him.
Red Bull’s chief adviser, Helmut Marko was very interested in taking up the service of Herta at AlphaTauri next season, but the only stumbling block over a potential deal was that the 22-year-old not having enough points to get himself a super license.
Without a super license, no one is allowed to take part in the sport and ultimately it proved to be the reason why Herta was denied an F1 birth.
The pundits of the sport have given mixed reactions to Colton Herta’s situation in F1 but Alexander Rossi has made it crystal clear that he is not happy with the American’s treatment in the sport.
Alexander Rossi’s take on Colton Herta missing out on an F1 seat
Colton Herta is someone who is rated very highly by people in IndyCar, and Alexander Rossi as being one of the ardent supporters of the 22-year-old has come to his defense and via his Twitter handle, written, “I have kept my mouth shut long enough, so here goes. I am so sick and tired of this back and forth regarding super license points.”
“The whole premise of it was to keep people from buying their way into F1 and allowing talent to be the motivating factor. That’s great we agree that Colton has the talent and the capability to be in F1. That’s great, and he should get that opportunity if it’s offered to him. Period.”
Rossi is extremely distraught after seeing his fellow American’s F1 dreams get shattered and has further gone on a writing spree stating why it is not right.
Colton Herta was linked with F1 since the start of the 2022 season and to see him bow out from the race for an F1 seat because of points, has broken the hearts of many fans all over the World.
Moreover, after seeing the dissent against F1’s rules, it is going to be interesting to see whether F1 would bring any change in super license rules in the near future of the sport.
