## Resource

Colton Herta’s F2 debut is proving tougher than expected, as he sits fifteenth in the standings with a best finish of fifth—far from the F1 dreams he hoped to fuel. Admitting the season’s been a disappointment, Herta blames shaky qualifying performances, noting his race pace is far superior. The real challenge? Mastering F2’s finicky tires, where mistakes are swiftly punished. With teammate Ritomo Miyata also adjusting, and Cadillac’s test sessions offering a potential future path, Herta’s focus remains razor-sharp: fix qualifying, and the rest will follow.
