Herta’s Super Licence DilemmaFor years, Cadillac and General Motors have heavily backed Herta, positioning the young American as the face of their future F1 endeavors.
Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn ImagesEnter the Ferrari ProdigyWith Herta’s F1 eligibility in serious jeopardy, Cadillac has reportedly shifted its focus to a rapidly rising star: 21-year-old Brazilian driver Rafael Câmara.
After utterly dominating the 2025 Formula 3 championship with Trident—winning the title with an entire round to spare—the Ferrari Driver Academy prospect graduated to Formula 2 this season with Invicta Racing.
Drafting a highly-rated Ferrari Academy driver like Câmara into a race seat would instantly strengthen Cadillac’s relationship with Maranello.
If Herta cannot pull off a miraculous, late-season turnaround in F2, his American F1 dream may be sacrificed for a Brazilian prodigy with a highly valuable Ferrari connection.
