Bosses of rival Formula 1 teams have urged the FIA not to relax its rules around superlicence points for drivers amid IndyCar star Colton Herta's links to the soon-to-be-vacant seat at AlphaTauri.
To race in F1, drivers need to hold a special licence. And to get hold of one, they have to meet certain requirements including a points system based on their best three results in whichever racing series they compete in.
Current rules require a driver to hold 40 points to qualify for a superlicence. Herta has been linked with F1, first as part of the doomed Andretti Autosport bid to buy Sauber last year and then after testing with McLaren, but will only hold 32 points by the start of 2023.
