Johnny Herbert reveals Damon Hill’s words after his Sky Sports axe
Herbert had been a pundit for the UK b♛roadcaster for over a decade before he was surprisingly ditched in 🅰advance of this season.
“"It was disappointing and a b♔it of a surprise,” he said to .ܫ “But as Damon said to me I had had a good eleven years.
“It’s given me an opportunity to look at other things and knoওck on people’s doors which I had not done for a long while. I am very fortunate being an ex-driver and winning races that it helps.”
Herbert previously said about his exit: "I didn’t decide to step away – I thought everything was going ahead!" "And then I got a call in December, I think it was, when I was 𝄹told things were changing.
"It wasn't expla꧂ined why or what was changing. There was 💜a mention of social media stuff and that was about it, really. I don't really know.
"I was always aware – at Sky they do these subscriber checks where you're given points out of 10 – and I've always known I 🍸was always quite popular on that side. It's a shame, but I'm over it. Moving on."
Herbert added to Ice36 about the F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix: “I’m lo🦋oking forward to it because it always turns up things which make it an interesting race.
“We have got the sprint; some people like it, some people don’t. I like the concept of what we have got over Friday, Saturday and Sunday.&n🍎bsp;
“I always found that Friday was a waste of time, jusඣt a data collection exercise over two sessions.
“Now you’ve got the qualifying for Sunday’s race on Friday, and Saturday qualifying for the 𓄧spri⭕nt race.
“There is entertainment for everybody, every single day. I li🐻ke the concept.&ཧnbsp;
“People say there is a risk factoౠr in the sprint, but there is a risk factor in F1 anyway. I don’t see that as 🍌part of an argument not to have them. But I hope Baku is the right track that gives us a little bit more entertainment.”
