The stewards’ conclusions in yesterday’s race baffled a lot of visitors.
Baffled by how Sainz acquired a penalty when obviously seeking to steer clear of Alonso when Sargeant does a Stroll and rams De Vries off into the gravel. The stewards appeared to be quite random when it will come to handing out punishments on the a person hand and contacting matters ‘first lap incidents’ devoid of repercussions on the other.
Truly feels like they believed they experienced to act simply because of the consequence: Alonso obtaining knocked off of the podium and Sainz obtaining on it. Steve (@Duuxdeluxe)
