Johnny Herbert Karting Challenge: Formula One race steward Johnny Herbert will no longer serve in his role after reaching a mutual agreement that his role was “incompatible” with his media duties. Herbert, who won three Grands Prix during a 160-race career between 1989 and 2000, worked as a Sky Sports Pundit for a decade before taking up his role as a steward. Following his appointment, the 60-year-old continued media duties as an analyst for select websites.

“It is with regret that we announce today that Johnny Herbert will no longer fulfill the position of F1 Driver Steward for the FIA. Johnny is widely respected and brought invaluable experience and expertise to his role.

"However, after discussion, it was mutually agreed that his duties as an FIA steward and that of a media pundit were incompatible. We thank him for his service and wish him well in his future endeavours,” read the statement by the FIA.
