Three-time grand prix winner Johnny Herbert has resigned from his position as an F1 driver steward after the FIA determined that his dual roles as a steward and media pundit were incompatible.
The FIA , Formula 1's governing body, announced on Wednesday that Johnny Herbert had stepped down from his position as an F1 driver steward . The decision came after mutual agreement that his dual roles as a steward and a media pundit were incompatible. Herbert, a three-time grand prix winner, had recently indicated his intention to continue as a steward during the 2025 F1 season. He has served as a regular steward for the past 15 years, first taking on the role in 2010.
\The FIA released a statement expressing regret over Herbert's departure, acknowledging his valuable experience and expertise. They stated that discussions led to the mutual understanding that his duties as a steward and his media work conflicted with each other. Herbert had been actively participating in pundit roles and regularly shared his opinions and insights in interviews. \In a recent interview, Herbert commented on Max Verstappen's driving style, stating that aggression was inherent in his approach but he was continuously improving his racing skills. He also observed that the current racing rules had created a more karting-like environment, with increased space on the exits. Herbert expressed confidence in managing any potential incidents during upcoming races, emphasizing that stewards would handle complaints from teams and drivers as usual.
