“I’ve form of been dragged round on this discuss for what appears like half a decade now. I’ve had the carrot in entrance of me for some time,” Herta mentioned. “I’m form of uninterested in that being the case, and I simply need to drive at this level and give attention to IndyCar this 12 months and give attention to successful a championship, and if one thing arises out of that, I’d have to consider it.
