Johnny Herbert

Johnny Herbert is a British former racing driver and broadcaster who competed in Formula One from 1989 to 2000. He won the Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch in 1985, which caught the attention of Eddie Jordan, and together they won the 1987 British Formula 3 title. A heavy crash at Brands Hatch in International Formula 3000 in 1988 left him with severe ankle and foot injuries and a permanent loss of mobility, but he returned in 1989 and scored points on his Formula One debut at the Brazilian Grand Prix with Benetton, finishing fourth. He later drove for Tyrrell, Lotus, Ligier, Sauber, Stewart and Jaguar, finished fourth in the 1995 World Drivers' Championship with Benetton and won three Grands Prix across twelve seasons. In endurance racing he won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1991 with Mazda and the 12 Hours of Sebring in 2002 with Audi, and he worked as a Sky Sports F1 pundit from 2012 until 2022.
