Johnny Herbert has been announced as a global brand ambassador for Lola Cars, just one day after his exit from the FIA was confirmed.
The three-time Grand Prix winner served as an FIA steward throughout the 2024 season, but a series of interviews with betting companies raised concerns about clashing responsibilities.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the FIA said: “It is with regret that we announce today that Johnny Herbert will no longer fulfil the position of F1 driver steward for the FIA. Johnny is widely respected and brought invaluable experience and expertise to his role.
“However, after discussion, it was mutually agreed that his duties as an FIA steward and that of a media pundit were incompatible. We thank him for his service and wish him well in his future endeavours.”
