Jake HumphreyHOST
But we know it's a green T-shirt with a Jag F1.
Rob SmedleyHOST
Is it Johnny? Is it Johnny Herbert? Is it?
Jake HumphreyHOST
Yeah.
Jake HumphreyHOST
Oh, yeah.
Jake HumphreyHOST
He was quick.
Jake HumphreyHOST
I recognise Johnny's helmet.
Rob SmedleyHOST
So Johnny is a driver that we sit with.
Rob SmedleyHOST
That's not funny.
ToddHOST
And so you're in the paddock and you're in the garages and stuff.
ToddHOST
And so I was walking and there was Gunther and I talked to Nikki briefly and Johnny Herbert and stuff like that.

I'll finish
Jolyon PalmerPANELIST

Jolyon PalmerPANELIST
Johnny Herbert announcing that Max was the world champion.
Jolyon PalmerPANELIST
I was commentating with you that day.
Edd StrawHOST
Now, "F1's Hottest New Boy" was the, uh, was the headline that Autosport had, and it's very important to stress how unusual it is to have something like that on the cover in that that didn't really happen.

Mark BlundellGUEST

Vicki Butler-HendersonHOST
Can I just ask, when you were thinking about going professional on two wheels, what was it that tipped you

Steve BerryGUEST
