Herbert drove in 12 F1 seasons, ending in 2000, and watched Schumacher arrive as a talented kid an🐓d gro♑w his legend.

Also legendary was how F1 drivers of that era would enjoy 𝓡themselves.

“Yes, the social side was bett💙er in my day,” Herb🅘ert told . 

“The bℱig one we had was in Adelaide af🌳ter the last race. Everyone went to the same bar or club. 

“Michael wou🀅ld get quite drunk early on. His party trick was to go up to someone𒆙 and rip their shirt apart with buttons popping everywhere. You knew it was coming!

“It was an easier thing to doꦓ back then. Adelaide was the main blo🎃w out. 

“What has changed🅠 is the advent of social media. It has changed everything. You can’t go anywhere without being papped.

“They still have fun now but it has to be more controlle✱d behind closed doors.”

Max Verstappen cruised to winning the F1 championship this 🐟season.

“No, this has n𝓀ot been🐭 the dullest season ever,” Herbert reacted. 

“Michael’s era was the dullest in history as far as I a🦩m concerned.&nbಌsp;

“You have to give Max credit for what he’s done. He has not just dominated, he’s dominated in a way th💯at it is very special to watch. 

“He can d𒆙ig deep and still per𒈔form as he showed in Miami and also in Spa.”

Herber🤪t was questioned on who F1’s best-ever three teams are.

“It depends on the era,” he said. “That’s difficult. From theꦅ 60꧋s and 70s Lotus, they would be top. 

“What Colin Chapman was able to do was incredible. Brabham when they started𒆙 iಞn the 60s, Ferraris have been there every single season.

“In modern times Red Bull is one of them as well as McLaren and W🏅illiams. Overall top of the h🍎eap has to be Lotus.”
