Red Bull chief weighs in on Johnny Herbert's removal as the FIA's driver representative on Formula 1 stewards panels

Formula 1's governing body was right to drop Johnny Herbert as a steward because of the former racer's media work, according to Red Bull boss Christian Horner who denied his team had influenced the decision.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has said Johnny Herbert’s departure from his role as a rotating FIA steward is “absolutely the right decision”, and that it had “absolutely nothing to do” with Max Verstappen.
