Michael Schumacher's "darker side" revealed by former F1 rival Johnny Herbert

Michael Schumacher's former rival Johnny Herbert has opened up on the German's "darker side" which was part of his make-up en route to seven world championships.

The former Ferrari driver is widely regarded among the sport's greats, but his regular displays of brilliance were intertwined with moments that underlined his desire to win, which, on occasion, crossed the line. Schumacher's career divided opinion with Herbert, who was hailed as a star as he rose through the ranks, admitting they "didn’t always see eye-to-eye".

The Brit was team-mates with Schumacher at Benetton, where he won his first two titles in 1994 and 1995. There he came across several impressive minds, who would later contribute to his success at Ferrari, but not without the odd controversial moment that highlighted another side to Schumacher.
