I am not absolutely certain on this, but I have always believed that the Stewards are not able to instigate any action if it has not come from those in Race Control. I am more than happy to be corrected on this if others have more knowledge about this subject.

Sorry Mike. I meant Race Control/ Director. Apologies for the confusion.
