Herbert responded to criticism from Jos Verstappen.
The former Formula 1 driver worked as an FIA steward at races in Mexico and Brazil and was one of those who handed out two 10-second penalties to Max Verstappen. And then he criticized the actions of the championship according contact 1x2 predictions leader in the press.
Jos Verstappen said that Herbert, being an FIA steward, should not have the right to communicate with the press and publicly express his opinion on such issues.
There`s Johnny Herbert, the steward - who does his job professionally throughout the race weekend. And then there`s Johnny Herbert, the TV pundit - who the rest of the time is free to express his thoughts and opinions.
When I work as a steward, I do not express my personal opinion. Because everyone has opinions. Martin Brundle, for example. So why can`t I express my opinions when I`m not working on the race track? After all, the race track has been my world for almost 50 years.
If I don`t agree with something that happens on the race track, then I`ll say so. It`s not just about Max. I will criticize every driver if I think that criticism is justified.
I understand Yos and his point of view, because we are talking about his son. Is there bias? No, of course not. And I was far from the only one who thought that Max had gone a little overboard in Mexico. Lando Norris and Zach Brown thought so too. But when I communicate with people on Monday or Tuesday, this already happens outside the scope of my work as a steward, " Herbert said.
The Verstappens kicked F1 judges and the British press for bias and jeered after their victories. Were there any reasons?
