The FIA must make its stewards full-time to improve consistency and standards, insists 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen has clashed with the decision-makers at the past two grands prix in Texas and Mexico, after he was hit with penalties for his combative driving against 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris.

The drivers’ briefing in Mexico was reportedly dominated by a🐻 debate about how to interpret the F1 guidelines.

Mercedes driv♓er Russell, in his role as director of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association, has stuck up for the rulebook itself but has a fresh suggestion for how to improve consistency.

"On a personal view, not a view of the ꦕcollectiv🀅e, I don't think it needs ripping up at all,” Russell was quoted by .

“It just🌱 needs some fine adjustments🐷 or a small addition. It's all pretty clear.

"The guidelines need to be in pl🤪ace but it also needs to be remembered they are guidelines.

“There's not a written regulation and it's down to the stewards 🐷to take the b💙est judgement.

"When things come down to interpretation, and when things are abo🌼ut consistency, you can argue if you were to have the same stewards week-in, week-out, the consistency will be better because they're interpreting things in the same manner and the drivers understand exactly what they expect in a given circumstance.

"So I do feel, again a personal view, not one on behalf of the drivers, but a personal vie🦹w, I do think we're at a point now in this sport that we do need a full-time professional steward in where they earn a real salary.

"They're not effectively volunteers and I do think within theಞ pool of stewards we've got now, they are definitely up to standard.

“So it's not sayi♈ng anything bad about the current stewards, it's just saying I feel we shಌould be having system stewarding week-in, week-out."

Johnny Herbert was among the panel of stewards who gave Verstappen two time penalties last week in Mexicꦕo for clashing with ༒Norris.

Hꦍerbert explained: “It’s the guidelines we followed, the teams agreed with our decisions. The right decision was made, the 20-second penalty for Max Verstappen was not harsh. Was Verstappen’s driving style on the edge or over the top? Yes, it was.

“Verstappen’ꦕs driving style was harsh, especially when he’s taking a fellow driver off the track. It’s an absolute no-no from me, current drivers, former drivers and stewards.”

With the adva♔ntage in the F1 drivers’ championship again being fought over this weekend at the Sao🔯 Paulo Grand Prix in Brazil, Verstappen’s driving is likely to be scrutinised.
