Herbert: MS is F1's rotten egg
F1 veteran Johnny Herbert has branded Michael Schumacher F1's 'rotten' egg
because of his unrelenting drive to win.
Herbert said that whilst Hakkinen went about his business in a 'nice' way,
he did not welcome Schumacher's 'win at all costs' attitude. Herbert, who
retired last year, partnered both men during his career - Hakkinen at Lotus
in 1991, and Schumacher at Benetton in 1995.
'The good egg is Mika Hakkinen, because he does everything in a nice,
friendly, fair way' the 36-year-old was quoted as saying in "The
 Independent" newspaper.
'The rotten one has to be Michael Schumacher, because he would do anything
to achieve exactly the same goals. He was a tough team-mate to have, both on
speed and on his politics, but I always thought Benetton should have said no
to some of his demands and they never did.
'It took away my chances of being able to succeed in that team. I learned
from it, but I didn't enjoy it.'
Herbert left Benetton in '95 following an engine fire in Adelaide, and
joined Sauber in 1996 where he enjoyed better fortunes.
Currently the Briton is searching for a drive in the US-based CART series.

 
Non ha detto cosi', suvvia.
Questa che riporti e' un'accozzaglia di frasi prese qua e la' 
dall'intervista originale. La decontestualizzazione di parole
ricostruite 
poi ad arte fa assumere al report che hai postato dei connotati 
grotteschi soprattutto per il simpatico Herbert che non ha bisogno di 
farsi una cattiva pubblicita' del genere.
Su rasf1M infatti sono subito accorsi a correggere il tiro di quelli che
avevano letto lo stesso articolo che riporti tu e che erano in qualche 
modo sorpresi e disgustati dal presunto atteggiamento di Herbert.
L'intervista integrale e' qui sotto.

You ask the questions 
(Such as: Johnny Herbert, do you still hold any grudges against Michael 
Schumacher from your days as Formula One teammates?) 
10 January 2001 
Johnny Herbert, 36, was born in Brentwood, Essex. He began racing at the
age of 10 and four years later had become the British junior karting 
champion. He took up professional motor racing in 1984 but his career
was 
almost ended after a severe accident at Brands Hatch left him with 
horrific leg injuries. However, he went on to win his first Grand Prix
at 
Silverstone in July 1995. He retired from Formula One at the end of last
year and hopes to continue his career on the American circuit. He now 
lives in Monaco with his wife and their two daughters. 
Which Formula One driver do you admire most and why? 
Ben Coates, Berks 
Ayrton Senna. He changed racing in a big way; he brought Formula One 
fitness to another level. Before Senna, it was all about the way tyres 
worked ­ look after the tyres and then you could sit back and have a
nice 
rest all the way round. But his way was attack, attack, attack, like a 
sprinter all the way, so fitness levels had to be that much higher. His 
determination to become World Champion was quite different to anyone 
else's. I admired the way he was the ultimate qualifier as well as the 
ultimate race driver ­ he was one of the most complete drivers I've ever
known. When he died it was like someone was taken from you, from your 
immediate family. It was a total shock to the system. I still think
about 
him and still miss him. He was a great guy. 
Do you still hold any grudges against Schumacher from the days when you 
raced together for the Benetton team? 
Tim Cocker, Stratford-upon-Avon 
I don't have any grudges with Michael at all. He was a tough team mate
to 
have, both on speed and on his politics, but I always thought Benetton 
should have said no to some of his demands and they never did. It took 
away my chances of being able to succeed in that team. I learned from
it, 
but I didn't enjoy it ­ the guy who was running the team allowed him to 
do what he wanted so it wasn't a team affair, it was a one-man show. I 
had to get on and do the best job I could in the circumstances. It was
my 
most successful year but not my most enjoyable. It can be a very 
unfriendly environment, very tough and very political, which is one side
I won't miss. 
Which is your favourite Grand Prix circuit? 
Lisa Maxwell, Brighton 
Spa in Belgium. It's a classic, old type of track ­ it's been around 
since the 1960s and used to be partly a street track. It's got probably 
the best corner in Formula One, the Eau Rouge. You go into it downhill 
and then the chicane starts at the bottom. At 160mph it's a very quick, 
demanding corner; 99 per cent of drivers would say it's the best in 
Formula One. The rest of the track has a hell of a lot of character as 
well, and the weather conditions in Belgium are never very stable so
that 
makes it quite fun when you come to enter the chicane. 
What is Eddie Irvine like? 
M Thornhill, by e-mail 
He's OK. You've just to accept Eddie as Eddie. He's got a very different
outlook on life and doesn't care what anybody thinks about him and
that's 
fine. He may not be popular, women may find him rude, guys may find him 
rude, but that's his way. He's in the right sport for that type of 
attitude and it hasn't done him any harm. 
How do you go to the toilet in a 70-lap race? 
Matthew Clarke, Birmingham 
You can't relax, so you can't. I did it once in a Formula 3000 race. It 
took me three laps as you can only do it on the straights. 
Is it true about all the girls? 
Charles Sugden, Northampton 
Not as true as it used to be. Eddie likes that side of it; he tries to 
play on it. It's out there if you want it, but I was content with what 
I've got. It still has that special thing ­ being a racing driver has 
that sex appeal. 
What has stopped you from being a champion? 
L Rees, by e-mail 
The accident at a Formula 3000 race at Brands Hatch in 1988. If it
wasn't 
for that, I would have normal feet like everybody else, then who knows 
what may have been possible? I mashed my feet up pretty badly. They
don't 
look normal and they don't move normally now, so I had to adapt my 
driving pretty drastically. It changed a lot of things for me. I didn't 
do too badly considering, but who knows what could have happened? 
Among your fellow drivers, who's a good egg and who's a rotten one? 
Jeremy Burdis, Kent 
The good egg is Mika Hakkinen, because he does everything in a nice, 
friendly, fair way. The rotten one has to be Michael Schumacher, because
he would do anything to achieve exactly the same goals. 
Will you miss Murray Walker? 
Peter Flack, Co Durham 
Everybody will. He's been the voice of Formula One for decades now ­ his
voice is something everyone's grown to love. He gets so excited it just 
makes the race that much more special. He's a very nice guy, but I'm
sure 
he'll still be about unless his hips give up on him again. 
Do you think your career would have been more successful if you hadn't 
been such a nice bloke? 
Thomas Peven, London 
After my accident, my character changed because I had to be happy and 
jolly to get over it. I don't know how much good that did me; in some 
ways in this industry if you're a nice bloke it does you more harm than 
good. When you're moody and difficult to get on with, people seem to 
argue back less and you tend to get what you want. The nicer people seem
to get trodden on more. 
If you hadn't been a driver, what else would you have been good at? 
J Horwood, Cornwall 
I'd have been the quickest delivery boy in the land.

 Bye bye Johnny Herbert
In occasione delle dispute sulle partenze di Schumacher ci fu qualcuno, tra
cui tu, che minimizzo' dicendo che i contestatori di Schumacher erano
quattro gatti: Coulthard, Villeneuve, Irvine...
Posso sbagliarmi, ma faccio un pronostico: la prima volta che MS farà a
ruotate con Button (prima o poi dovrà accadere, macchine permettendo) ed
uscirà dal seminato,  vedrai quanto poco sia rispettato il campione del
mondo.
Se per sfortuna di Schumacher le scintille ci saranno con Juan Pablo, sarà
d'uopo che Corinna compri bistecche crude alte due dita...

Giusto, ma non ce l'avevo con te, solo che era meglio chiarire, visto che 
dailyf1 sembra aver calcato un po' la mano.


 quattro gatti: Coulthard, Villeneuve, Irvine...
Coulthard si è già ampiamente scusato in diretta televisiva con MS
alla CS di Malaysia. Villeneuve è un contestatore cronico di MS,
ma li c'è poco da fare, è il suo chiodo fisso. Irvine è molto più
amico di MS di quanto molti pensino...Herbert ha solo sofferto
il fatto di essere stato ridimensionato da qualcuno più forte di lui, capita...


 il fatto di essere stato ridimensionato da qualcuno piů forte di lui,
capita...
Curioso il fatto che i "big" o chi si ritira (ed Herbert era sempre citato
come teste a discarico di MS) possano permettersi di dire certe cose.
Non entro nel merito di chi abbia ragione o chi abbia torto, nella vicenda.
Constato, oggi come ieri, che MS ha "rotto il cambio" a molta gente in F1.

Questa mi ricorda una vecchia vignetta su Autosprint riguardo a Prost...
