Nigel 'moaning git' Mansell is the stewards driver rep

there's the first penalty for Hamilton in the bag

Thats bad news!!!

Look at the size of that chip! More like a tree trunk.

The are 4 stewards, not just Mansell on his own.

All incidents in the race will have to be dealt with after the race.On the grounds the other stewards will be asleep when Nigel starts talking,man he is dull.

Yes but one of them, the driver giving advice to the ones that dont know so much, has a bit of a problem with lewis (kinda like if you were a steward)

Why?
He lowers the average steward IQ just by a mere 25 points, so not too bad...

All 4 stewards will know the rules (I'd imagine that the other 3 will know them better than whoever the driver steward is) and they have at their disposal far more information than we as a TV viewer will ever have. The driver is their in an advisory capacity only and doesn't out-rank the other 3. Besides, even if Mansell thinks a penalty should be given and the other 3 don't then there won't be a penalty.

I think the driver steward is only there to answer one question during the race, that is all the other stewards saying "WTF did the driver do that?"

[racechick]

They should have Johnny Herbet all the time. Mansell, doesnt like Lewis, Poor judgemet and low IQ. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

But people know the driver rep's name, so it's naturally always their fault.

[racechick]

Its not his name that's the problem. Its the things that come out of his mouth.

you'd think F1 revolves around Lewis...

[racechick]

Well poor judgement and low IQ doesnt bode well for any of the drivers. Im more bothered for Lewis yes, cos Mansel's singled him out for criticism before and Lewis has had enough crap so far this season.
It would be nice to have professional ex drivers who dont have points to make/axes to grind and can be objective, Herbet is a good example. This would be better for all concerned not just Lewis.

Maybe Mansell is in cahoots with Whitmarsh...

[FerrariFan63]

So, which teams have been fastest around the twisty bits of tracks this year?
