The FIA has reprimanded Haas F1 boss Gunther Steiner for criticising stewards in Monaco. Full story:
Steiner spoke out against the decision of the stewards at the Monaco GP to impose a time penalty onWith Steiner feeling that Hulkenberg did not make any untoward contact, he said the time had come for the appointment of full-time professional stewards. "F1 is one of the biggest sports in the world, and we still have laymen deciding on the fate of people who invest millions in their careers. And it's always a discussion because there's no consistency.
Following a hearing on Saturday, Steiner was reprimanded but made it clear that he specifically used the word ‘laymen’ in reference to its official dictionary definition which is: “a person without professional or specialized knowledge in a particular subject." “Further Mr Steiner stated his reference to “laymen” was meant to refer to people who worked occasionally and not meant to refer a lack of qualifications or specialisation.
“I expressed to the Stewards my disappointment and disagreement with the decision taken by the Monaco Stewards last weekend,” said Steiner.
