Drivers as stewards!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/moto...ne/8408475.stm

Former Formula 1 drivers are to become part of the group of stewards who will adjudicate at each grand prix as part of plans published on Friday.
The move is among the first major changes made by Jean Todt since he succeeded Max Mosley as president of motorsport's governing body the FIA.
Ex-drivers will form part of a four-man group of FIA stewards to deal with F1 issues at each grand prix.
This sounds pretty positive to me. I remember a few incidents over the past two or three years where drivers have been penalised for fair racing, and hopefully this will reduce such incidents.

A great idea that's been asked for for a long time now

Can't wait to see Mr Lauda on the panel

Yes, definitely a good move. I would suggest perhaps 2 of them being drivers, with each known to have had different approaches in their racing careers.

Good move. I wonder who'll they'll use?

Lots of penalties to Alonso if Piquets are stewards

Panis, Alesi, Frentzen, Hebert - those are the kind of people who I'd like to see as stewards. Most of them still race but with a rotating scedule that'd be a minor problem. Anyway, if this is a sign of things to come (including removing Alan Donnelly) Todt's rule might be a quite decent one.

Not bad. Fair dues to Mr Todt. Good move.

Will this only apply to F1, or will other FIA series have driver-stewards (or did they, as usual, forget that anything outside F1 exists?)
