Colton Herta didn't have enough points to qualify for an FIA Superlicense.
Colton Herta racing record, (wikipedia)
He participated in two Formula 2 races in 2026, earning 6 points.
FIA Superlicense (wikipedia)
The F1 Superlicense predates that of the FIA, which administers a number of other junior or parallel formulae of racing.
Gilles Villeneuve was famously stopped in Italy for speeding about 100 km/hr above the speed limit. When the cop asked him to show his license, he displayed his F1 Superlicense, after which he was dismissed with only a warning.

Max Verstappen seems to be the reckless type. Hope he doesnt end up like Michael Schumacher or worse
How is he reckless?Driver dies in Nürburgring race featuring Max Verstappen

You dont seem to use your brain wisely. So let me help you.
This is the track: running nearly 13 miles through wooded German hills, with more than 150 corners and barriers often close to the track, the Nordschleife layout at the Nürburgring is known for high-risk thrills.
Then check your own post #131. And that someone died on that rather treacherous course. Got it?
No need for the insult? It's a discussion, chill.
It's part of if racing, all racing is inherently dangerous.
Max is a very competent driver,
Accident happens for us daily on the road, with so many changing variables, does it mean we're reckless if we're driving?

Stefan Bellof bio stub (wikipedia)
Bellof drove for Tyrell in F1 in 1984 and 1985. Tyrell was the only F1 team still using the normally aspirated Coswsorth engine during the Turbo era. Tyrell was disqualified retroactively from the 1984 F1 championship for cheating - their cars had extra water tanks which would be full for the pre-race weigh in, but the water would be expelled before the race, to lighten the cars' weight to below the minimum.
Bellof died in a World Endurance Championship race at Spa Francorchamps on September 1, 1985. He was, at that time, the reining World Champion in WEC. He held the lap record for the 28.2 Km 'old Nurburgring' circuit from 1983 until 2018. His qualifying lap for the 1983 1000 Km Nurburgring race was about 14 seconds faster, but lap record times are always based on race laps.
I was fortunate to see Bellof race twice, at the 1984 and 1985 Canadian Grands Prix, and I saw his other F1 races on television. Had he lived, I have no doubt that he would have been a World Champion F1 driver. I would rate his driving skills as being on par with Gilles Villeneuve. They were both 'stupidly brave'.
Stefan Bellof's amazing overtake at Mirabeau in intense rain during the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix. He started last in the field of 20, finished third on the road in a race shortened to slightly more than half distance, and he was gaining on Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna ahead of him when Jacky Ickx gifted the win to Prost by black-flagging the race.
The 1984 Monaco Grand Prix is one of the all time greatest F1 races. Watch it in its entirety here:
