Formula 1 should have a re-think about its super license rules, as Red Bull’s plans to bring Colton Herta to the grid next year look set to collapse. But Red Bull’s Dr Helmut Marko was not shy in suggesting that Herta not being able to step up to Formula 1 is a failure of the current system. As for Japanese Ayumu Iwasa, Marko insists: “He needs a second Formula 2 season.”. The same is true of Isack Hadjar in Formula 3, although Marko said he has high hopes that the 17-year-old Frenchman is “a driver like Prost”. “Formula 1 would also be happy about having an American,” said the 79-year-old Austrian.
