Johnny Herbert on why he’s no longer on Sky Sports F1

- Hi all. A quick update on why Johnny Herbert isn’t at Sky Sports anymore (we were always told it was his decision, but clearly not!) and what he’s up to now!
Sorry if you don’t know who Johnny Herbert is, but as presenters go, he was the most Impartial presenter on Sky Sports, but that didn’t stop them when it came to getting rid of him. Big mistake I think!

He's straight, white, and a man.
Correct they had to make room
The whiff of the jackboot polish is unmistakable.
Mr W you have hit the nail on the head with your comment
Pretty much describes the F1/FIA power and principality and didnt stop them royally screwing Hamilton, in true audacious, perverse, corrupt and totally unprecedented style though, such as you'll never find equal in sporting history, but this is the kind of thing these types have always done, nothing new all said and done, an inconvenient truth, but truth all the same. And btw, do not kid yourself or those conveniently in agreement that Johnny was sacked for that reason - total BS and you know it but it suits your very questionable deep rooted 'spirit' we'll call it, to kid yourself so, cause that's all you are doing, along with those like you. Johnny is a man of truth and integrity and became surplus to requirements because he spoke the truth and made it clear that the events of Abu Dhabi 2021 were wrong, to put it mildly which they absolutely were. This for those who have skin in the game, compliant to the agenda of their business associates, the pay masters caused disgruntlement and discomfort, period. Johnny is a good man and can look himself in the mirror, more than can be said for all too many, sadly. Thankfully there are a lot of other good people like him out here, who dont turn a blind eye, go along with the cover-over / smoke screen narrative, accept wrong as right or are easily deceived - you can fool some people some of the time, but you cant fool all the people all the time ............
Similar to what’s happened with some of the football and Rugby presenters, there seams to be a move to introduce a more diverse group of presenters as opposed to just featuring previous F1 drivers or technical experts. My wife and I have followed Johnny for 40 odd years and we will continue to do so.
Yup. It's funny how all this "diversity/inclusivity" never seems to extend to getting older people involved 🤔
Exactly, this is not just an F1 thing. I'd say its not just a sport thing either, it is everywhere.
We all know why he was sacked. A certain Team and Driver are behind it. Shame on Sky for caving in to their demands. Now other Sky F1 pundits have effectively been gagged, and are afraid to say anything that might upset certain people with very fragile egos. Johnny spoke some truth, and paid the price unfortunately.
Should have kept Johnnie Herbert and Paul Di Resta. Bernie Collins is a great addition to the team. There are others that I would get rid of.
Funny how Johnny and Paul ware they two who ware far to max and they are both gone 🤔
Johnny spoke too much truth
If I remember correctly Johnny was too vocal about what happened in Abu Dhabi, FIA and F1 closed the case on it but Johnny kept on bringing it up.
FIA have always tried to manage things down but couldn't do that with TV.
Liberty Media probably don't want F1s name being damaged and likely asked Sky to get rid of him as he was still vocal about it.
I agree with you. Saying that, Johnny always came across impartial and I could never tell who he would pick as his favourite - or preferred driver on the grid. I do miss Johnny though.
@@f1lounge
I think he is a massive Hamilton fan but didn't want to show it heavily. He's still one of the best personalities in F1, gutted he's not on TV. Him and Eddie Jordan sharing a broadcast would be chaos, and I'd love every second of it!
Yeah and he was right to be vocal about it
@@peterben5987
The ship has sailed 🤷♂️
Both Johnny and Paul DiResta were clearly unbiased reporters. They called it like it was without the bias of the others for the Brit teams. They were not homers IMHO.
I was always a big fan of Johnny even when he was racing, he brought a lighter atmosphere to the racing but with an immense experience of the sport too.
I find it most intriguing that they also let di Resta go... The both of them were in my opinion the most impartial ones on the team. Used to love listening to Paul's commentary and countering the rest on the team who seemed to definitely have some biases towards certain drivers/teams. Such a shame.
Interesting, I personally believe they were the most biased ones at SkyF1 apart from maybe Ted. Herbert being a Lewis fanboy and Di Resta being a Max fanboy. It's a shame they both had to go though as even though they were obviously biased, they balanced each other out and are both very likeable. Especially in the light of Ted still being there who is constantly stirring the pot and riling up fanbases against each other.
@Cliffster9 Eh, I wouldn't say either of them were fanboys, especially di Resta, though I do believe Herbert maybe supported Hamilton. I liked that Di Resta kind of went against the obvious "British bias" from some of the commentators. He seemed a lot more impartial imo. Yes, Ted especially likes to stir things up and makes his disdain for Red Bull very obvious lol
@@CaesarAntinous A (supposed) bias against any current dominant F1 team, driver or FIA is not a bad bias at all.
Missing Herbert and di Resta already. Shame they let them go instead of others not as insightful and unbiased.
Johnny was brilliant, should have gotten rid of Brundle and Croft
I do miss Johnny. I would be happy if they replaced Crofty with him and that way we could have two ex-drivers commentating.
@F1 Lounge I met Brundle at a Rally in Wales, he was so aragant all the spectators refused to help him and I have never liked him since that day.
@@tangomike01 I really didn’t know he was like that. It’s a shame really because I like his commentary.
Johnny was definitely one of the best at Sky!, but his days were numbered after he told the world that the 2021 finish was...!, So wrong!, basically he told the truth!, oh yeah that must be it, to work for Sky your not allowed to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!😅
Absolutely right you are. And Mr Herbert was not afraid of repercussions in saying the truth. !! The World saw one of the worst scandals in sport that day. 12th December 2021.!!!
Johnny told it how it was in Abu Dhabi and he didn’t tow the Sky Sports party line of pretending like nothing happened. His days were numbered as soon as he did that.
Gotta protect the product so get rid of the big mouth telling the truths.
Spot on that's why tbe didn't renew his contract 😮
JH is a lovely bloke and a fucking legend seeing him back in the day being carried out of his Lee Mans winning car in near death state will stay with me for ever
And after all of that, Johnny still went out and had fun. He never let that accident hold him back in many ways, and was a true impartial commentator.
I was shocked and stunned when I heard the news! To me Johnny was the most interesting of the whole show! He always come across in the most natural unforced manner and he always lifted the atmosphere of the show with his happy bubbly, almost cheeky little boy manner, as he always had even back in the day when he was racing F1 ........ If I had to pick four people to have dinner with he would be high on the list! I think Sky shot themselves in the foot with this one!!!!!!!
Sky Sports just got rid of their best presenter
Maybe they dont like Johnny having too much fun!???
That’s what I liked about Johnny. Apart from his analysis, he was always up for a laugh!
Gotta say I think He was the the most likeable of all the presenters I've watched on the F1 coverage I suppose it's one of those mysterious corporate things that never make sense too anyone , good luck to him anyway don't think it will slow him up any 😊
Johnny isn't a herbert and one of the few that doesn't mind his words so much, he will be greatly missed. I've just cancelled my sky sub as I decided if the sport isn't going to keep honest voices in the mix, then oh well...
They should have got rid of Damon Hill.
Yeah, he was too honest, unlike some of the others!
Despite being an ex F1 driver and race winner, Jonny is a white, middle aged male so doesn’t fit the diversity narrative. They will replace him with someone who hasn’t been a formula 1 driver, an fits their profile narrative. Will it improve the programme, of course not
Probably one of the most relevant presenters. Hill should have been axed instead.
Very bad how he was treated being let go
Johny H is very impartial regarding his comment on F1.
I always thought Johnny was pretty boring, didn’t add much with his commentary and came off as a little simple. PDR was very knowledgeable, but a little robotic.
Bernie’s analysis is fantastic. Naomi adds zero and I fast forward her. Ted is very cocky, but interesting to listen to for the most part. Damon, boring. Lazenby, slimey, but an ‘ok’ presenter Natalie really holds her own and seems likeable/genuine. Rachel is harsh and a poor man’s Natalie. Martin and Crofty are holding the entire show together!
Paul do Resta was so knowledgeable and up to date on technology and tactics. Should never have got rid.
Yeah but he made the mistake of pointing out some of the British drivers mistakes 🙄 😮 Sky doesn't like that 😢
@@alcoyne3333333333333 nonsense. he was too bias to the point he was asking for drivers to crash so his favourite could win.
for me i like Paul Di Resta. cause he did great tech side but i did like Johnny maybe Paul and Johnny should go to C4 along side DC
Jonny was the best I honestly believe the bosses of F1 are just money grabbing bees and they are running drivers and public to giving up with the sport. The bosses just love crashes, real racing in a decent time frame not back to back races to run us all ragged. The most exciting thing happening this year is the national anthem.before race.
We should start a campaign to bring back Johnny. He was the fun guy in the Sky F1 team.
Johnny was treated badly because he told the truth who are these abc plants they got now in F1 its ridiculous.
That’s the thing with Johnny. Straight talking and didn’t show any bias towards a specific team or driver, and that is a very rare thing.
He was one of the best, and funniest commentators on Sky. Hopefully he'll get a job elsewhere.
I agree with you. Always up for a laugh and really good with his analysis. I hope he’s back on TV again soon.
so now we have a sanitised TV crew?
Yeah herberts days were numbered but PDR could of stayed as his knowledge and also a ex driver were perfect he was always correcting crofty lol,Lazenby and crofty are next to go!!
He needs to come back got so much experience in this field are sky that stupid 😮
Another factor is the Sky cynical love for the "diversity" religion currently dominant in UK. I suppose they think it is good for business, and probably they are right (strictly as bean counters). If you have to increase quotas , someone has to go out.
As a legendary driver (one of the most talented British drivers , even after his terrible accident) and a very knowledgeable commentator , I don't know why JH has to go out while others far less qualified remain. Well, I DO know why, JH is not the most "convenient" employee for Sky.
To be absolutely honest, I was never a fan of Johnny and I never liked his comments and for me personally he never added anything to the show other than some silly comments! I’m more Happy to see new faces.
He didn't go along with the 2021 puppet show grand finale, therefore adios.
I don't understand how they keep Lazenby on over anyone else there. He never seemed enthusiastic about F1 general. I feel like I listening to an annoucement on a train station.
Don’t worry Johnny they’re beating up each other down under
Croft and Teddy (lulus boy)
Next is gonna be Hill and Rosberg to see who the biggest Daddiesboy world champion
Johnny you where the most unbiased commentators and Pauli was not bad either
Decent channel 👌
Love Johnny. He was a breath a fresh air on Sky. Unfortunately honesty and integrity has become the enemy of capitalism so Johnny was a casualty.
Corporatism*
Johanny Herbert is my favourite on sky sport F1 he was always honest in his comments unlike Martin Brundle but we all know why he is there as a x racing driver his knowledge and explanation etc but he is baias towards Red Bull and the new boy max who has more longevity in the sport plus am sure powers at the top like Mr Greedy Eccleston infulence sky to sack johanny for his comments not only on social media but as a pundit on the farce between Lewis and max robbing Lewis of his 8th F1 title but majority of F1 fans no that most of the other sky pundits are looking after their livelihood that's why they suck up to Red bull and Horner.
Imparcial, about what?
Everybody at SkyF1 have an agenda or are ignorants about the sport... all including former drivers (Herbert and Button).
IMO the only one different is Martín Brundle, he is about driving and only driving... and ironically has changed some opinions there (others are less ignorant or have dropped the agenda)
Herbert never showed any favouritism that I can recall. He said it how it was, but remains impartial while doing so.
It's ok Johnny, you had fun. See it as a paid time to be at the paddock. Now you can go in without being told what to do! I see it as a win win!
Is sad when the likes of Sky see themselves as bigger and of course "right" regardless of the facts, Di Restas days were numbered when he dared to disagree with Rosberg on air, Rosberg had always had the huge advantage in F1 with his dad being a former world champion, Hamilton & Sky always made a fuss over Anthony Hamilton working two jobs to fund Hamiltons racing career, what they didn't say is that he bought second premises to expand the business, not quite the same thing really, it doesn't take away from Hamilton being very talented, but it wasn't the rags to riches story Sky push.
Di Resta and Herbert are much missed and as much as I like Chandhok he's not a patch on the other two, he just doesn't have the F1 race experience, I think Sky are having to compete with Liberty Media, that 99 year contract is something that should never have happened, it's good that the original LM people have been moved on, but all have been replaced with ex Ferrari people, not a good move by anyone.
Johnny’s day’s and Ted were numbered after calling out the truth!! Today I don’t watch or listen to F1 anymore!! Biases and Favoritism is rampant on these programs, I won’t watch anymore! I throughly enjoyed watching your program ✅💜💜💜
Thank you, and I really appreciate it. Like you, I feel their days were numbered too. I really enjoyed the fun side of Johnny, and his commentary always got me listening. To me he was truly impartial, but at heart… he wanted to see the races played properly.
Had a hard time what the new female presenter was saying
Johnny told the truth live on air . That was it for him . Such a shame . The other presenters nearly fell off their stools at the time . Remember it well
And well done Johnny . Integrity & honesty have given you more of a following.
Now , most of us seasoned fans just mute what dregs of commentators that are left
‘Johnny Herbert was one of the more impartial pundits on Sky F1’
Mate did you even watch any of the races he was a pundit at in 2022?
All he talked about was Abu Dhabi 2021, how big red bull are cheats, hated on verstappen and was clearly a Merc fan boy!
I respect Johnny for his F1 career but he was a terrible pundit and most of the Sky F1 team are Merc bias but he took it to the next level and probably why he didn’t get a contract renewal!
Yes he called a spade a spade but whenever he spoke it was never insightful or a different perspective on F1, it was just a hate speech
I disagree. Johnny always remained impartial. Herbert talking about Abu Dhabi 2021 was nothing to do with who won what and everything to do with racing by the rules.
Merc bias? Do you need hearing aids when watching sky f1 or something as max and RB must have a sore ass how far all the sky presenters are up there lol. None of them are even allowed an opinion and just follow the narrative they’ve been given unlike Jonny who actually called out the BS!
@@milan1399 like I said Johnny calls a spade a spade.
Of course they’re going to praise RB atm they’re wiping the floor with everyone. Sky pundits still have a Merc bias from the presenters to the commentary team. Only difference is they can’t arse lick Merc because it’s very clear they’re not the fastest team, and if they did they’d get called out on it. But they still over hype them
Love Jonnie sad he is no longer with the team
You answered the question your title posed a minute into the video.
Johnny, why were you fired?
I don't know.
Thanks, next video please.
Even now he hast been specific on why he was dropped from Sky Sports F1 because he’s A) not sure why or B) not allowed to say why for the time being. The one and only noticeable point that Johnny mentioned was ‘social media’. If you’re not aware of whet he has said on social media, maybe you should do your own research about it.
They are all freelancers so cant really be "fired"... Just not renewed..
Fernado Alonso?
Sky sports don't like max it's all about Lewis they wear wrong to do that
Bernie ??? Her ? Them ? LBGTQ ?
Are you recording on the toilet?
This sounded pretty lazy. You miss his but don't listen to his podcast.
Sky sport are bias! Good for him to leave!
Well F1 is a great tool to push propaganda lately. Must check boxes. Lets go equity. Don't stop there, were is the equity in the pits, not talking about some token females in the pits walking around. Why not equity when changing tires on a pitstop? I want equity. 😅
Johnny was a great fair and expert commenter and really put everything in clear talk , The Worst two faced presenter on the F1 commentary gang is by Far the Brundel back stabber a never was looser
Yes he was there constantly whinging and whining about 2021. He couldn’t just let it go. Good riddance
Glad he was axed, the most biased bitter sore presenters ever. The dude is constantly on copium
