Carlos Sainz urges a change in the Formula 1 arbitration system, seeking consistency in decisions.
What's the issue?
The Spanish driver argues that rotating stewards don't help maintain a uniform criterion.
He believes the regulations are complex, and having the same people judging and applying them would be helpful.
Why it matters for Carlos Sainz
Sainz cited his penalty at the Dutch Grand Prix as an example, where he thinks the decision was rushed.
The available footage was not adequately analyzed, according to Sainz.
He compared his situation to the incident involving Lewis Hamilton, where the decision-making process took much longer.
What comes next?
Sainz proposes having permanent stewards to ensure consistency in decisions.
This would help maintain the integrity of the championship, he argues.
The Williams driver's comments come amid a series of controversial decisions by the stewards.
Sainz has always supported the idea of permanent stewards, according to f1technical.net.
He declared, "The regulations are already incredibly complex, and it would be very helpful to always have the same people judging and applying them."
Sainz's penalty at the Dutch Grand Prix was a consequence of trying to rush without looking deep enough into the analysis.
Maybe in Lewis's incident, the decision-making process took too long, Sainz commented.
The need for closer collaboration between drivers, the FIA, and teams is highlighted by these contrasting cases.
