The FIA must make its stewards full-time to improve consistency and standards, insists 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: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澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris.

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

Mercedes driver Russell, in ꦰhis role as director of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association, has stuck up for the rulebook itself but has a fresh suggestion for how t🎉o improve consistency.

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

“It just needs some fine adjustments or a sꦍmall addition. I🐻t's all pretty clear.

"The guideline𒁏s need to be in place 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 ♛best judgement.

"When things 🧸come down to interpretation, and when things are about 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 dr🅺ivers 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 view, 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 s🅺alary.

"They're not effectively volunteers an🔯d I do think within the pool of stewards we've got now, they are definitely🐻 up to standard.

“So it's not saying anything bad about tꦺhe current stewards, it's just saying I feel we should be having system stewarding wee🍎k-in, week-out."

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

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

“Verst💧appen’s driving style was harsh, especially when he’s taking a fello♍w driver off the track. It’s an absolute no-no from me, current drivers, former drivers and stewards.”

With the advantage 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.
