After the agony of defeat, success will be sweet!vcs316 wrote:I would be cautiously optimisitic. Hope Brawn can implement some much needed changes and do away with archaic rules. One change I would like to see is 3 consistent stewards at all races. Today with each race the stewards change & there is their own interpretation of the rule. Standard stewards = Consistent penalties for similar race incidents (be it race 1 or race 10)Who'd want to travel to 21 races and be steward that many times when the personal calendar is already busy? Could be slim pickings...

myownalias wrote:Agreed. We need consistent stewards. Who cares whether the steward is an ex racer or not? The interpretation of rules, incidents and infractions must be the same throughout the season. If we have different stewards for different races, the interpretation will for sure be different each race.darwin dali wrote:I wonder how many people actually care about driver stewards, I know I don't give a damn, how many people even realize that an ex-driver is on the steward panel at all?myownalias wrote:I'm fully aware of that, however, F1 wants to be flashy and wants celebs as stewards.
