Also, the points system is heavily biased to F2 (or biased against Indycar) depending on how you look at it.

Points are for championship finish positions not race finish positions, race wins would be too easy
I'd agree F2 has more bias than Indy but the full F2 calendar is run only on F1 circuits
F2 and F3 are traditionally the stepping stones towards F1 and both are FIA sanctioned so no surprise there is more bias towards F2
Herta has 32 points and 40 are required, quite a few points shy, due to COVID he was even given an extra year to earn enough points
There is still a slim chance Herta is racing in F1 next year, I read he may compete in the Formula Regional Asian Championship which finishes on the 2nd week of Feb.
