You're splitting hairs here.
The stewards are the embodyment of the FIA here....
If you think stewards are a variable, then that is the variable the FIA chooses. But they are usually very experienced people that have had a professional racing career (probably on that track they're stewarding) and I'm sure that before they are instated they are (mutually) instructed by FIA people on what is allowable and what not and how the FIA in general and in detail wants to see how the drivers will be racing.
I think that makes them more knowledgeable than 'some guy' on 'some forum' with certainly not a professional racing career and certainly not instructed by the FIA....
Because that is pretty much the comparison you're placing yourself in now....

Anyway they have the mandate and everyone has to respect that. There is always a way for appeal where things can be re-evaluated.
geez.....

At least Indy street course in Nashville tomorrow evening looks interesting.

Grosjean starting P6 on a very tight & bumpy circuit.
He seems to be enjoying 'Merica

Edit: P5...Palou grid penalty.

Don't know if you European blokes receive coverage?

Then NFL Preseason can carry me through the remaining break

Hopefully it will be on tap for next year.
If you haven't been to it before you will love it.
Montreal fully embraces the race and with it being so close to the downtown area it is one amazing experience.

That's the HONDA Spec-2 PU from today .
That doesn't explain "Torque Management" also doesn't mean there isn't any funny business going on.

Lewis less than a year ago…” I don't drive any of the cars that I own any more. I only drive my [electric Mercedes] EQC.”

Yet he is still driving his single digit mpg cars. Have to roll up to Samual L Jackson’s party on private yacht in Monaco in a hypercar, can’t be driving my EQC I say I drive everywhere.

Guy is a hypocrite, preach something do the opposite. I was a Merc Lewis fanboy for years. Then he went full diva and lost some fans.

Look at the positions my friend before impact and Bot's maniacal closeness to Norris on the left of pic when the track is drizzle wet yet with perfect vision.
Notice that Checo is looking right at Norris and Bot and is aware of the impending happening so I'm surprised he didn't take more action to avoid by for instance going more wide.
