F1 star demands FIA stewards revamp after controversial penalty
Williams F1 driver Carlos Sainz is pushing for a complete restructuring of the current FIA stewards’ system following his Zandvoort penalty controversy. Initially deemed responsible for a collision with Liam Lawson, Sainz’s penalty was later rescinded after new evidence was presented. Sainz advocates for having permanent F1 stewards, with at least two of the three being permanent members, emphasizing the need for clarity and fairness in decision-making. Despite existing guidelines, he believes the execution lacks clarity during racing situations. Sainz’s persistence in challenging the penalty and the subsequent reversal highlights the potential flaws in the current stewarding setup within Formula 1.
