Herbert responds to Jos Verstappen as Max makes demand – RacingNews365 Review
FIA race steward Johnny Herbert defended his right to express an opinion on F1, despite criticism from Jos Verstappen over a perceived conflict of interest. Herbert was part of the panel that penalized Jos’s son, Max, in the Mexico City Grand Prix. Max Verstappen recently achieved a remarkable victory, becoming only the sixth driver in F1 history to win from 17th grid position or lower at Interlagos. Yuki Tsunoda’s 2025 Red Bull teammate is uncertain, but Franco Colapinto’s name has come up as a potential candidate due to his impressive performances for Williams and connections to Red Bull. Fernando Alonso faced setbacks in his recovery from health issues after a challenging Sao Paulo Grand Prix, missing media day for the second week in a row. Nico Hulkenberg was disqualified at the Sao Paulo GP due to an incident with the marshals, marking the first such disqualification since 2007. Alonso and Verstappen continue to lead F1’s penalty point rankings after the 2024 Sao Paulo GP, with Verstappen picking up his seventh point on the championship standings.
