Pussification. Absolutely.

My question is, rather than give the stewards more rules at their disposal, wouldn't it be better to bring in stewards that have some idea what they are doing, some semblance of consistency and perhaps go so far as to assure they are not loyal to any of the teams? How about professional stewards that go to every race instead of new morons in each stop? Holy shizz, what if ALL of the stewards had actual racing experience instead of one guy who they consult? Fawking FIA...more ridiculous bullsh!t.

the FIA should employ proper marshalls with common sense and a good eye for racing and not be wrapped in the total bull!. agreed with bill there!

just a reminder... you forgot to blame Lewis Hamilton and his fans.

The simple solution would be to have three former F1 drivers permanently on the stewards panel, they are racers, that can see the difference between a racing incident and out and out cheating, cutting corners, dangerous driving etc. I don't see the logic of having three "non drivers" on a stewards panel, how can they make a good decision when they haven't been in the cockpit experiencing F1 from a drivers points of view, especially now with the tiny mirrors that are effectively useless!

totally correct there which is why they have had ex-drivers on the panel throughout the season, i think that this idea should have been thought of ages ago, but it was probaly the fact the fans were so outraged by the inconsistentcy of the stewards decisions they felt they had to take action

I really liked the ex-driver-as-steward spin on the championship this year. I do think they have to be careful in their selection though, just to ensure that there is no bias (whether perceived or not).

Like, anyone who ever raced against Schuey should receive an immediate strike

Did I? Well, consider him blamed then.

Is that all you wanted or would you like to have a bit of a scrap now? Perhaps if I said you were an attention seeking, drama craving, argument starting internet tough guy whose mommy never loved him and clearly needs a spanking.....would that get it done?

[scotty]

I don't think this will change much in terms of what actually happens on track. I'd love to see a reduction in that stupid chicane cutting though, the drivers aren't punished for their mistakes at all at most tracks.

There's the Billy I know!

Enough with this pathetic love fest between the two of you

That stupid chicane cutting is necessary when a mistake is made and thats why they must give back the position gained if there is one, I thought you knew that?

Yes i am aware of that well known fact, but you have completely missed my point apparently. A driver makes a mistake and goes of the track, but loses no real time because of it. Therefore the mistake isn't really punished.
