Christian Horner backs the FIA’s decision to remove Johnny Herbert as steward due to conflicts with his media roles. Herbert’s dual roles sparked discussions about the need for full-time stewards in F1, aiming for greater integrity and professionalism in officiating.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has endorsed the FIA’s decision to remove former steward Johnny Herbert. The FIA cited Herbert’s media work, particularly as a pundit for gambling sites, as a conflict with his steward duties. They acknowledged Herbert’s value but concluded the roles were incompatible.

Johnny Herbert, a former F1 driver, has served as a steward since his retirement. His recent media engagements raised concerns about impartiality in his stewarding role. The ongoing debate within motorsport circles highlights a demand for professional, full-time stewards rather than part-time volunteers, which could enhance the integrity of officiating in F1.

Horner’s support reflects a broader expectation that stewards should not simultaneously engage in media roles, ensuring decisions are unbiased. The conversation about the professionalism of stewards continues, with calls for them to be full-time, contributing to the sport’s integrity and effectiveness in officiating.
