Reigning British Formula 3 Champion and winner on his F3000 debut, he had already completed successful tests for Benetton-Ford and Lotus-Honda. But, a sickening accident put his life in doubt and his career in the balance.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>A winner in karts and cars<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Winning the 1982 British Karting Championship and taking victory in the 1985 Formula Ford Festival when driving the unfashionable Quest FF85 confirmed his promise. That latter success was achieved despite crashing in practice and therefore having to work his way through from the back of the field. Herbert\u2019s Eddie Jordan Racing Reynard 873-Volkswagen was third at Monaco and he dominated British F3 during 1987 \u2013 winning five times.<\/p>\n<p>EJR and Herbert graduated to F3000 in 1988 and his Reynard 88D-Cosworth led the opening round at Jerez all-the-way from pole position to victory. Third at Monza and heartened by those impressive Formula 1 tests, Herbert seemed on course for the F3000 title and GP racing.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Brands Hatch accident<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>On pole again at Brands Hatch, he clashed with Gregor Foitek during the race and hit the barriers head-on at Pilgrim\u2019s Drop. Herbert broke both of his legs but such was his reputation that Benetton signed the injured Englishman for the 1989 F1 World Championship.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Formula 1 with Benetton and Le Mans winner<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Hardly able to walk, Herbert took his Benetton B188-Ford to fourth on his F1 debut in Brazil, just 10.493 seconds behind the winner and ahead of more experienced team-mate Sandro Nannini. Despite that sensational performance, Herbert\u2019s injuries had not fully healed and he was replaced after just six rounds.<\/p>\n\n                            <div class=\"expanding-content__buttons\">\n                                            <a href=\"#\" class=\"button button--outline button--chevron-down expanding-content__more\" data-behaviour=\"toggle\">Read full bio<\/a>\n                        <a href=\"#\" class=\"button button--outline button--chevron-up expanding-content__less\" data-behaviour=\"toggle\">Read Less<\/a>\n                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/section>\n\n                                \n   <\/div>\n\n<section class=\"c-content-article content-article content-section\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"content-article__grid\">\n            <div class=\"content-article__article\">\n                <h2 class=\"title sanomat\">From the archive<\/h2>\n                                    <div\n                        data-behaviour=\"tag-automation\"\n                        data-automation-type=\"related-issue-content\"\n                        data-tags=\"[&quot;Johnny Herbert&quot;]\"\n                        data-current-post=\"27325\"><\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"content-article__content user-content\">\n                <p>Herbert struggled for five years to re-establish himself. Victory in the 1991 Le Mans 24 Hours for Mazda \u2013 the first for a Japanese manufacturer and a rotary engine \u2013 restored some lustre but part-time F1 spells with Tyrrell and then Lotus only allowed glimpses of his talent.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>On the ascendency once more<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>However, with former Benetton Team Manager Peter Collins now in charge at Lotus, Herbert joined on a fulltime basis from mid 1991. He often outpaced team-mate Mika H\u00e4kkinen only for poor reliability to restrict him to just two points scores during 1992 and deny him a probable third place finish at Silverstone.<\/p>\n<p>The Finn moved to McLaren but Herbert remained contracted to Lotus for the last two seasons of a once-great marque. However, he was back in demand by the end of 1994 and switched to Ligier and then Benetton when both teams were run by Flavio Briatore.<\/p>\n<p>He stayed with Benetton as team-mate to new world champion Michael Schumacher but remained in the German\u2019s shadow for much of 1995. However, the ever popular and genial Essex driver benefited when Schumacher and rival Damon Hill collided at Silverstone and Monza to score maiden F1 victories and finish fourth in the 1995 World Championship.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>A final win for Stewart Grand Prix<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>That was not enough to retain his drive and Herbert then endured three difficult seasons with Sauber. He finished third at Monaco in 1996 but suffered a huge accident at Ste Devote a year later.<\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"c-content-article content-article content-section\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"content-article__grid\">\n            <div class=\"content-article__article\">\n                <h2 class=\"title sanomat\">Related article<\/h2>\n                                    <div\n                        data-behaviour=\"tag-automation\"\n                        data-automation-type=\"related-article\"\n                        data-tags=\"[&quot;Johnny Herbert&quot;]\"\n                        data-current-post=\"27325\"><\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"content-article__content user-content\">\n                <p>Also third in the 1997 Hungarian GP, Herbert moved to Stewart Grand Prix in 1999 and scored an unexpected final F1 victory in changeable conditions at the N\u00fcrburgring. A final, pointless season with the now rebranded Jaguar Racing in 2000 bought Herbert\u2019s GP career to an unreliable and uncompetitive close.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Sports car champion and future in the media<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>He continued to race in sports cars and success in the American Le Mans Series with an Audi R8 included victories in the 2002 Sebring 12 Hours and 2003 Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta. Second for Audi North America in the 2002 Le Mans 24 Hours, he repeated that result a year later with a Bentley Speed Eight.<\/p>\n<p>The Volkswagen Group\u2019s marketing objectives swung back from Bentley to Audi once more in 2004 and Herbert shared an Audi Sport UK Team Veloqx R8 with Jamie Davies in the Le Mans Series. He qualified on pole position for the 24-hours itself before finishing second once again. Twice winners in the series, Davies and Herbert were crowned Le Mans Series Champions that year.<\/p>\n<p>Herbert won the all-star 2008 Speedcar Championship for identical stock cars with a double victory at the Dubai finale. Most recently, Herbert has successfully plied his trade as part of Sky Television\u2019s line-up on British television.<\/p>\n<p>It is impossible to tell what he could have achieved but for his injuries although three GP victories are testament to a resolute and talented driver.<\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"content-section content-section--no-padding-bottom database-table-collapsible toggle open\" id=\"championship-seasons\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"js-react\" data-behaviour=\"driver-seasons-table\" data-driver-id=\"\"><\/div>            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"content-section content-section--no-padding database-table-collapsible toggle open\" id=\"non-championship-races\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        \n<header class=\"content-header content-header--alt\">\n\n    <h2 class=\"content-header__small-title sanomat u-bold \">\n                Non Championship Races\n    <\/h2>\n\n    <div class=\"content-header__dropdown database-table-collapsible__toggles proxima\">\n        <a href=\"#\" class=\"database-table-collapsible__more\" data-behaviour=\"toggle\">Show<\/a>\n        <a href=\"#\" class=\"database-table-collapsible__less\" data-behaviour=\"toggle\">Hide<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/header><div class=\"js-react\" data-behaviour=\"driver-races-table\" data-driver-id=\"\"><\/div>            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"content-section content-section--no-padding database-table-collapsible toggle open\" id=\"teams\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        \n<header class=\"content-header content-header--alt\">\n\n    <h2 class=\"content-header__small-title sanomat u-bold \">\n                Teams\n    <\/h2>\n\n    <div class=\"content-header__dropdown database-table-collapsible__toggles proxima\">\n        <a href=\"#\" class=\"database-table-collapsible__more\" data-behaviour=\"toggle\">Show<\/a>\n        <a href=\"#\" class=\"database-table-collapsible__less\" data-behaviour=\"toggle\">Hide<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/header><div class=\"js-react\" data-behaviour=\"driver-teams-table\" data-driver-id=\"\"><\/div>            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n                            <section class=\"c-broadcast-space content-section block_5fc172d85c387_leaderboardtop div-gpt-ad-1563288058060-1\" data-target=\"ad-container\">\n            <div class=\"container container--full-mobile\">\n                <aside class=\"broadcast-space \">\n            <div class=\"broadcast-space__element\" id=\"div-gpt-ad-1563288058060-1\" data-behaviour=\"ad-target\"><\/div>\n    <\/aside>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n    \n\n    <section\n        class=\"c-latest-products latest-products content-section\"\n        data-behaviour=\"tag-automation\"\n        data-automation-type=\"related-products\"\n        data-tags=\"[&quot;Johnny Herbert&quot;]\"\n        data-current-post=\"27325\"><\/section>\n\n\n        <section class=\"c-article-listing article-listing content-section\">\n        <div class=\"container\">\n            <header class=\"content-header\">\n    <div class=\"content-header__intro user-content\">\n        <h1 class=\"content-header__title sanomat\">Related articles<\/h1>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"content-header__button\">\n            <a class=\"button button--outline button--full\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\">\n                View all\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/header>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"content-section__inner-content container\">\n            <div class=\"article-grid article-grid--no-ads\">\n                <div class=\"article-grid__wrapper\">\n                    <div class=\"article-grid__nested-grid\">\n                        <div class=\"article-grid__column\">\n                                                            \n\t\n\n<article class=\"article-item \">\n\n\t\n\t\t<a class=\"article-item__link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/articles\/podcast\/f1-show\/v8-engines-set-for-f1-comeback-why-its-really-expected-to-happen\/\">\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"article-item__image article-item__image--cropped\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<picture>\n            <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Will-V8s-save-F1-thumbnail-450x253.jpg.webp 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" height=\"253\" width=\"450\" alt=\"V8 engines set for F1 comeback &#8211;
