Welcome to the Marshall Pruitt podcast and our short form interview series catching up with.

This episode, we have our man Colton Herta in about a month, a little over a month,

since the Andretti Auto Sport driver spoke with anybody, thankful and fortunate that he chose

me and the podcast to speak for the first time since

everything that did not happen with the Andretti Autosport attempt to take control of the Sabre Formula One team,

better known as Alpha Romeo, Orlin Racing, spoke with Colton trying to get a feel for where he's at

with his career moving forward,

knowing that it is indeed committed to IndyCar for 2022 and beyond.

Also speaking about the last month in general of staying quiet, watching and observing,

hearing many of the things being said, knowing obviously a lot of what was going on behind the scenes.

Also speaking about the future, what's coming with some changes to Android Autosport,

half of the lineup will be different than that four-car Honda-powered IndyCar team

gets back to business next year.

So it's been about 20-ish minutes or so on the phone with Colton. Appreciate him, as

always. Definitely appreciate our partners at Cooper Tires that power the road to Indy, the Justice

Brothers manufacturers of fine automotive chemicals and lubricants in Toronto Motorsports.com.

So Colton, you've seen your name written a lot over the last couple of weeks, not just stomping a mud hole in people winning IndyCar races, but there's this Formula One stuff, knowing that the Formula One journey, at least from an immediate standpoint, 2022 is not going to be where your future is carved. Maybe we talk about that

a little bit before talking about what's coming here in the future, continuing an IndyCar.

Where did Formula One sit for you recently in terms of interest? Was it a F1 or bust mindset?
