Herbert drove i♏n 12 F1 seꦍasons, ending in 2000, and watched Schumacher arrive as a talented kid and grow his legend.

Also legendary was how F1 drivers of that era wo𝕴uld enjoy themselves.

“Yes, the social s𒅌ide was better in my day,” 🎃Herbert told . 

“The big one we had was in Adelaide after the last race༺. Everyone went to the same ba꧅r or club. 

“Micha༒el would get quite drunk early on. His party trick was to go up to someone and rip their shirt apart with buttons popping everywhere. 🌞You knew it was coming!

“It 🅰was an easier thing🍷 to do back then. Adelaide was the main blow out. 

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

“They stil🐼l have fun now but it has to be more controlled behind closed doors.”

Max Verstappen cruised to winniꩵng the F1 championship this season.

“No, this has not been the dullest season ever,” H𓂃erbert reacted.&💖nbsp;

“Michael’s era was the dullest in history 🗹as far as I am concerned. 

“You have to give Max credit for what he’s done. He has not just dominated, he’s dominated in a ☂way that it is very special to wa😼tch. 

“He cꦏan dig deep and still perform as he showed in Miami and ꧂also in Spa.”

Herbert was✅ questioned on who F1’s best🍸-ever three teams are.

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

“What Colin Chapman ꦚwas able to do was incredible. Brabham when they started in the 6𓆏0s, Ferraris have been there every single season.

“In modern times Red Bull is one of them as well as McLaren and Williams. Overall top of the heap has ♍to be Lotus.”
