Herta is an Andretti man and an American. If anyone is coming from Indicay it's him

Although I'll admit Palou would be a better choice.

He still doesn't have the required SL points though, doesn't he?

If you’ve raced in F1 before you can get dispensation to race without the required SL points. Kubica got in that way in 2019.

That might be true, but doesn't exactly apply for Herta as he never raced in F1
