Explanation

Michael Schumacher was disqualified from the 1997 championship after colliding with Jacques Villeneuve at Jerez, meaning all his points were annulled. This caused the championship standings to be recalculated without him. Johnny Herbert, driving for Sauber, finished the season in 10th place overall, which would have placed him in the top 10 after Schumacher's removal. The other options - Ralf Schumacher, Jarno Trulli, and Damon Hill - all finished higher in the standings, so they were already in the top 10 regardless.
