Since races are not decided by the on track outcomes, can we get a list of the stewards names so we can put them in place for the WSC (World Stewards Championship)? We can keep the stats on which stewards make the best call that have the most ludicrous impact. There can be teams like Whiting Rulers and Max Crack Squad etc..

It basically come down to them anyway.

Can we put all these stewards in some sort of big brother house & then vote on which 1 has to get spanked by Max on a Friday night?

I like my cars the same way I like my women & my music, fast & loud.

It kills me that some nameless faceless dude is controlling the outcome of these races. And some of them show a clear bias to certain teams as we saw last year from Spa-Francorchamps.

The World Steward's Championship has a lot of merit. We wouldn't need the cars any more, which would give us the cost cutting that Max wants.

The championship could be turned into something more like Miss World for drivers. The constructors could be decided between outfit designers...

I don't like Big Brother, but I would definately watch a version where the FIA are locked up in the house.

There's got to be rules, laws, and orders in everything and usually the person making sure it is uphold, wether popular or not is always the most hated. In Football and Soccer (Futbol), the refs, side judges, the judges upstairs, all of them are not ex players, but they are picked based on their knowledge of the rules, the sport, and the conduct of every person involved. The races are run on machines driven by humans, at the end of the day, decisions are and should be decided by humans. These people are not "faceless dudes", they are not picked off the streets randomly, I admire and respect what they do and go through and if I don't agree with their decsions, its still sunny the next day for me and I move on. Think of it when you are a little child, you hated all the rules your parents enforced on you, you don't agree with it, you don' understand it, you think its unfair, but now you are older now with your own kids, you see it now. This is part of F1, it has been and will always be and it has made it compelling and entertaining. So everytime we get a decision that you don't agreed with do you start a "petition", well go ahead and send you your two signitures, I am just gonna sit back and enjoy this season and... hey look, its sunny outside my window.

Spot on, and if you wish to know who these nameless faceless stewards are check out the FIA website, names and CV's are provided.

Oh and by the way it's dark outside my window.
