      To quote Seb, “Well I think it’s complete bullshit to be honest 🙄” but that’s me sitting here as a casual viewer not stewards knowledge/access.

      To me it just feels like another classic inconsistency in decision making.

        Absolutely mate, I think it’s a bad call but the stewards have access to more video feeds so we have to trust them.

        What I will say is that seargant and Williams was fined EUR5000 for something less egregious

          Alpha Tauri didn’t show up to the stewards room so got off that one on a technicality.

            Wait what. This is ridiculous. One how can AT just skip a FIA summons without repercussions. Amd two why is max exempt if AT does not report. It’s not like AT have filed a complaint and have to be there to justify their complaint. The footage of the impeding is their for all to see. Man all this is bullshit.

              How is that in any way fair? Alpha Tauri, owned by Red Bull, declined to send a representative to the hearing that would have seen Max penalised for impeding. Any other driver would have had a grid drop.

                Exactly. Red Bull jnr had to just drop it in favour of Red Bull Sr. Sucks but what you gonna do? 🤷
