Interesting, i think they are trying to be more pro-active and visible. Re-investigating the Hamilton incident off there own backs shows that things are going to be different this year. And sends a precedant for the April 14th meeting as it seems that they can go back on there innitial thoughts on anything including the legality of the Diffusers.

How can th stewards in Sepang be sure that any decision they make won't be over-turned by the Stewards at the next race?

Looks like a free-for-all to me.

On this basis it's just a case of continuing to appeal to the Stewards until you get a set to agree with you.

Which is why the FOTA should walk away from the FIA now - it's has singularly failed to prpovide constant, neutral regulators as it's it supposed to do & thus has no right to officiate anywhere.

Hell I wouldn't even let Max & his cronies run the drive-thru window at McDonald's.

Absolutely what I was thinking.

Agreed.

F1 teams need to set up on their own away from Bernie and the FIA!

I was looking forward to an open year of great racing. But, just like last year, it seems the races are going to be decided by the Stewards after the race.

They are too meddlesome.

Please Sir,

I've watched a F1 race (On the telly), I've been involved in the organisation of motorsport events and I've even competed in races. Can I be a F1 Steward?

No. What do you mean I'm over qualified?

You are clearly fair too sober to be a steward. Go & get rat-arsed & come back to us.
