“We didn’t always see eye-to-eye,” Herbert told . “He was ruthless. But tha🌠t is why he achieved what he achieved. 

“He had a way ꦿthat he wanted to go about his racing. He was fortunate that he got the right people around him with Flavio Briatore, Ross Brawn to Rory Byrne, and he t𒀰ook those people to Ferrari.

“I remember Ross saying Michael was the best driver he had ever 𒊎worked with. Because of that they would do anything for him. And I mean anything. 

“Because of that, Michael gets that motivation, they get the motivation back because he gives it back, and together they deliver. Then it becomes a cyꦫcle of su💦ccess.”
