Drunk Nights and Shirt-Ripping Shenanigans
Former Formula One driver Johnny Hebert has opened up about his wild nights with racing legend Michael Schumacher. Hebert revealed that Schumacher used to get smashed and rip his pals' clothes off at post-race parties. However, Hebert admits that these antics wouldn't fly in today's era of social media scrutiny.
The Social Side of Formula One
In a recent interview, Hebert reminisced about the good old days when the social scene in Formula One was more relaxed. He shared that one of the wildest parties they had was in Adelaide after the last race, where everyone would gather at the same bar or club. Schumacher would often get drunk early and surprise someone by ripping their shirt apart. However, Hebert acknowledges that times have changed due to the rise of social media, making it difficult for drivers to have a carefree night out without being photographed.
Schumacher's Impact on the Sport
Hebert also praised Schumacher for his influence on the sport. He mentioned how Schumacher changed the mindset of drivers, pushing them to drive as fast and flat out as possible throughout a race. Hebert believes that current drivers operate at only 60 to 70 percent of their limit, which he finds less challenging from a human element perspective.
Schumacher's Health Condition
Since his life-changing skiing accident in 2013, Schumacher has rarely been seen in public. His health condition remains closely guarded by his family, and little information is known about his current state. Hebert, reflecting on his former friend's condition, expressed sadness that Schumacher is still not close to his former self and that there is a lack of positive news about his recovery.
Overall, Hebert's revelations shed light on the wild party days of Michael Schumacher and how the Formula One scene has changed since then. Despite the nostalgia for the past, fans continue to hope for positive updates on Schumacher's health.
