McLaren team principal Andreas Seidl says any decision on future FP1 runs will come once the team has evaluated all of the candidates it may put in. RACER understands there are already more testing outings lined up for Herta but not before the sport’s mid-season break, during which time McLaren will analyze how the American stacks up against fellow Ind圜ar start Pato O’Ward, who tested for McLaren during the young driver test in Abu Dhabi last year. Herta will run on Monday and Tuesday, before McLaren development driver Will Stevens takes over on Wednesday at the circuit that hosted races on the F1 calendar in 20. Those preparations are for his maiden outing in last year’s car - permitted by F1’s testing regulations - in Portugal.
The Andretti Autosport driver has been signed to a testing deal by McLaren and recently spent time with the team in the simulator at the McLaren Technology Centre, as well as completing a seat fit ahead of his first F1 run. Colton Herta will drive McLaren’s 2021 Formula car at Portimao this week as part of his testing program with the team.
