Michael Schumacher’s “party trick” has been described by Johnny Herbert who reminisced over F1 drivers’ changing habits.
Herbert, who drove in 12 seasons of Formula 1 until 2000, witnessed the rise of Michael Schumacher from a talented young driver to a legendary figure in the sport. During that era, the social side of Formula 1 was much livelier, with the season-ending celebration in Adelaide being a highlight. Schumacher was known for his party trick of ripping someone’s shirt apart, and Adelaide was the main location for such festivities. However, with the advent of social media, the dynamics have changed, and drivers now have to be more careful about their public image. Herbert also praised Max Verstappen for his dominant performances this season and disagreed with the notion that it has been a dull season. When asked about the best teams in Formula 1 history, Herbert mentioned Lotus from the 60s and 70s, Brabham, Ferrari, Red Bull, McLaren, and Williams, but ultimately declared Lotus as the overall top team.
