“I stand by the fact that I think there needs to be American representation in the sport. However, Herta doesn't qualify for a Super License and is therefore ineligible to drive in F1 despite having [previously tested an F1 car for McLaren](https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/motor/formula1/2022/03/12/mclaren-f1-signs-american-driver-herta-for-testing-program/49927339/).

He appeared in five races for the Manor F1 team, including racing in front of a hometown crowd at the 2015 United States Grand Prix. He and his family made the decision to move to Europe when he was 12 years old to maximize his opportunity to race in Formula One, he said. Each driver in F1 needs enough points to qualify for a Super License, which is required for F1 participation.

Christian Horner hits back at 'appalling' Red Bull criticism in F1 ... (The Guardian)

Christian Horner said unfounded allegations that Red Bull got an advantage by breaching the budget cap had resulted in children of employees being bullied.

Horner confirmed he is in discussions with the FIA after being invited to enter what is known as an “accepted breach agreement”. The cap for 2021 was set at £114m and it is believed Red Bull exceeded it by £1.8m. “The cap is a rule, no different than the technical rules in the sport. The damage that does to the brand, to our partners, to our drivers, to our workforce. “My letter set out if a team spends more than the cap they are going to get an advantage,” he said. The rhetoric of ‘cheats’, the rhetoric that we have this enormous benefit.

Dietrich Mateschitz, the billionaire whose Red Bull energy drinks firm grew into one of the biggest sponsors in motorsport, has died aged 78.

[Red Bull Ring](/f1-information/going-to-a-race/red-bull-ring-circuit-information/), while its Servus TV channel has the rights to broadcast the sport in Austria. Mateschitz has only occasionally appeared in person to witness his team’s success, and had not been seen in an F1 paddock for several years. Red Bull increased its presence in F1 when it took over as the title sponsor of the Sauber Formula 1 team in 1995. While Horner built Red Bull Racing into a championship-winning force, Mateschitz pounced on the opportunity to buy another F1 team the following year. He transformed Minardi into Toro Rosso – Italian for ‘Red Bull’ – to serve as a finishing school for its future champions. Red Bull finally ended their uninterrupted title run last year when

The Aussie driver has refused to entertain drives with “less competitive” F1 teams and “has a plan” to get back to the front of the Formula One grid. The Aussie described his time for the last two seasons at McLaren as “a grind” and Ricciardo has been linked with Mercedes to become their reserve driver for 2023. Yet having been dismissed by McLaren a year before his contract expires he appears to have no Formula one drive for 2023.
