The German raced for Jordan, a team headed by entrepreneur Eddie Jordan, as he eagerly sought to make an impression in F1.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the time two-time world champion\u2019s sibling quickly developed a knack for causing accidents, retiring six times in his first seven races. <\/p>\n<p>And one of Ralf\u2019s later crashes at the Italian Grand Prix that season left a bitter taste in Sky Sports F1 pundit Johnny Herbert&apos;s mouth, who drove for Sauber at the time.<\/p>\n<p><b>READ MORE: \u2018I was approached for Schumacher film after \u2018Senna\u2019 success \u2013 but I\u2019m not a fan of him\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The younger Schumacher fired Herbert into the barriers at high speed on lap 38 at Monza, resulting in both drivers being forced to retire. And Herbert, 59, still hasn\u2019t forgiven the \u201carrogant\u201d and \u201cobnoxious\u201d Ralf for lacking the courage to apologise for the incident.<\/p>\n<p>The former British driver told CasinoSite: \u201cThe one racer I didn\u2019t like the most, because I found his arrogance on the track awful, was Schumacher, Ralf that is! He was obnoxious. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe took me off the circuit once at 215 mph at Monza and his team had to push him to come back to apologise. From that point I thought, \u2018you horrible selfish git\u2019. <\/p>\n<p><b><i>Do you think Ralf Schumacher was a good F1 driver?
