So which steward is Toto talking about?

Derek Warwick

So he has history of being lenient with Max?

Norris should have cleared 5s from Verstapen! Just because

Not really, better car yes but worse driver. Max beats them all pure talent.

The pure talent has gone 9 races winless in car fast enough to win and can only stay ahead by doing dodgy maneuvers and pushing everyone off the track! Wow what a proud moment to be a Verstapen fan…

If that was the 2008 FIA-Hamilton relationship…Verstapen would have been banned for life!

Better than qualifying a car good enough to win races this year at p19, then beaching it like a beginner. Infinitely better.

Just one gp ago Toto was flirting with Max, now this

Deflection from his own team's disastrous weekend. Time for another new TD Toto

Button just said on Sky what everyone saying already...Max was ahead because he sent it...But i guess Jenson doesnt kno what hes talking about either.

Max was still on the curb, so just a track limit warning, no rules broken / no penalty.

Yes and no because a track limit warning when you are alone in that corner is one thing and another thing when another car is alongside you and you going off track after you divebomb back taking them with you outside of said limits.

I don't think 'alone' is defined anywhere in the rules. Max was ahead at the apex, so he got the right to the corner, and didn't went 'straight off', as is common with divebombs, did not even lock up, and stayed in control of the car, so only the track limit warning should apply in this case.

All of them, they are all racing drivers who have been sponsored or supported or driven by a team.

This is a very difficult situation as there is always bias (real or perceived) as a good steward would have experience of the spirt but the sport is so expensive there is always a past association. Even people like Mark Webber, David Coulthard, Damon Hill, Jenson Button have a foot still in their home camp.
We need too either allow the system to go wild (bumper cars), have arbitars, or apply AI or some other algorithm to make the decisions.

Or have professional stewards who have no previous ties to any of the teams. If others sports can do it then so should motorsport/F1

Slipery snake Christian Horner weaving his snake magic in the Sky F1 post race interview.
Lordy the man must have such a forked tongue that he would confuse a snake!!

Yes I so agree. We need FIA to cough up some of their profits to fund this.

The stewarding was strange this weekend

[jknights]

So much contention on the stewards decisions that I forgot to say congratulations to Ferrari and Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz on great drives.

Verstappen knew exactly that this was a trap that Norris would walk into. He did it very cleverly. The fact that McLaren didn't ask Norris to change places was probably because they didn't trust him to overtake Verstappen. But earlier in the race there had been several such 'overtakes' in the same place and everyone got 5 seconds for it. They still believed in a miracle rather than Norris.
