F1 Then and Now: Insider Speculates on Michael Schumacher's Take!

J ohnny Herbert , former F1 driver, dishes on how Michael Schumacher would handle today's F1 scene.

The Shift from Driver Control: Modern F1 focuses on tech and engineers, a far cry from Schumacher's era.

Dependency on Engineers: Nowadays, drivers rely heavily on engineers for performance and strategy.

Mixed Reaction: Schumacher would dig the performance but might get frustrated by reduced driver autonomy.
