Johnny Herbert
Johnny Herbert brings three Formula One Grand Prix wins, a Le Mans victory, and over a decade as an F1 analyst and commentator to dinners, awards nights, and motorsport events, known for warm storytelling and Q&As that keep guests talking long after.
Johnny Herbert is a former Formula One driver and Le Mans winner who brings first-hand insight into elite motorsport, competition, resilience, and performance under pressure.
Johnny raced for seven teams, including Benetton, Tyrrell, Lotus, Ligier, Sauber, Stewart, and Jaguar, taking three Grand Prix victories and winning the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans. His career includes a major comeback after a serious 1988 injury left him with reduced mobility and forced changes to his driving style. Returning to Formula One in 1989, he went on to win the British and Italian Grands Prix in 1995, followed by the 1999 European Grand Prix.
After a decade as a Sky Sports F1 analyst, he spent several years as an FIA race steward before stepping back into broadcasting and media work. He is now a brand ambassador for Lola Cars and tours UK theatres with his own evening show alongside a steady run of corporate and motorsport events. That mix of driving pedigree and ongoing media work gives Johnny a current, well-rounded view of the sport, which he shares with characteristic candour, humour, and an obvious enjoyment of the room.
Book Johnny for a genuinely well-informed and entertaining appearance at your next dinner, awards night, or motorsport occasion.
Johnny brings first-hand experience of winning at Formula One and Le Mans level, alongside a major comeback from serious injury. His mix of racing insight, media experience, and humour works particularly well for corporate audiences seeking memorable stories around resilience, pressure, and performance.

To book Johnny Herbert, email johnny.herbert@getapeptalk.com or call PepTalk on +44 20 3835 2929 (UK) or +1 737 888 5112 (US), and one of our speaker agents will contact you within hours to confirm Johnny's availability and speaking fee. If you can, please include your budget upfront – it helps us fast-track your request. It’s also helpful to know the date, format (virtual or in-person), location, and about your audience.
No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
