Career

Herrera began karting in 2017. Mainly racing in Mexico, Herrera won the 2020 and 2022 RMC Mexico titles in Micro Swift and Junior Max, [1] [2] and finished third in the 2022 Mexican SKUSA championship in the X30 Junior class. [3] Herrera then mainly raced in Europe in 2023, [4] before going back to America for the end of the year, where he finished 11th in the SKUSA SuperNationals and continued karting until 2024. [5] [6]

After testing Formula 4 machinery in late 2024, Herrera made his single-seater debut for Jenzer Motorsport in the final round of the 2025 Formula Winter Series at Barcelona. [7] Despite qualifying ninth in wet conditions on debut, [8] Herrera scored a best result of 19th among the three races, doing so in race two. [9] Continuing with the Swiss team for the rest of the year, Herrera joined the Formula 4 CEZ Championship, [10] in which he scored two fifth-place finishes in the season-opening Red Bull Ring round. [11] After finishing no higher than eighth at the same venue a month later, [12] Herrera finished fourth in race one at the Salzburgring to enter the second half of the year eighth in points. [13] In the following round at Most, Herrera scored his first win of the season during race three after overtaking two drivers during a safety car restart. [14] After then finishing second in race three at the Slovakia Ring, [15] Herrera won races one and two during the Brno Circuit round after starting on pole position for both races. [16] He finished the season in third with 189 points. [16] During 2025, Herrera also partook in the Monza and Imola rounds of the Italian F4 Championship, [17] in which he scored a best result of tenth in race three at Monza, having started 23rd. [18] Herrera also made a one-off appearance in the Mugello round of the E4 Championship for AKM Motorsport, [19] in which he scored a best result of 19th in race one. [20]
