One of the most experienced drivers, Herbert was once again very consistent in 97. At the wheel of a Sauber that was not always competitive, the Englishman still managed to achieve points finishes on a number of occasions. The sign that Johnny is a talented driver. In 98, in a more ambitious atmosphere, and with Jean Alesi as his team-mate, he might be capable of creating a few surprises...
