Mercedes driver George Russell reiterated in Brazil his idea, expressed more than once, to switch Formula 1 from volunteer stewards to professional stewards…
George Russell: “This is my personal opinion, and not the position of the team or the GPDA, but I believe that the rules do not need to be changed, it is sufficient to make small additions. What we need are not dogmas written down once and for all, but guidelines by which stewards can make the best decisions.
When it comes to the interpretation of the rules and predictability of decisions is needed, it can be said that if we had the same stewards from week to week, they would interpret what is happening in the same way and the drivers would understand exactly what they had to do doing. expected in special circumstances.
I believe, and this is my personal opinion, that we are now at such a level in this sport that we need full-time professional stewards who receive a real, decent salary. Now the stewards are actually volunteers, but that doesn’t say anything bad about them.”
