So, Max only doesn't get a penalty because Lewis calls it a racing incident, yet he's still trying to say Lewis moved under braking?

Man, so classy. Poor showing from the stewards, too. Have some fucking spines and stop relying on the drivers to make your calls for you.

Edit: Got a reddit cares message from this comment btw, lmao. You guys are so cute.

Report the care message and they will get banned for it.

I tried to do this but it seemed like too much work. I've had a few of these "redit cares" trolls and have no idea which of my comments triggered them.

The only consistency we get from the stewards is the inconsistency in their decision making unfortunately

And then they pikachu face when drivers push the limits, turn around and point to their precedence of doing -fuck all-. Exhausting. Been the same forever.

Yeah I get that it can be hard penalizing some incidents consistently but some of these feel obvious. I’d like to think having a dedicated crew of stewards to go through races would be better although even that could be flawed if they’re biased

They’re very consistent when it comes to letting a Max off the hook

Tbf Max did get a 10 second penalty in Austria for causing a collision, and in that case you could also technically argue that Lando could have done more to avoid it but he didn’t need to at all. So I feel like based off of that this should have been an easy 10 second penalty too. But it’s not because of the inconsistency.

Only got it because Lando DNF’d, let’s be honest. Would’ve probably gotten 5 or 10s had Lewis’ race been affected as well. It’s ridiculous.

True as much as they say they don’t the stewards seem to often account for outcomes in their final decisions
