Mazepin trying to kill Mick at Monaco by turning into him on the straight as he came up to overtake is another incident that should not have esvcaped notice.
The stewards are human and time pressure and overload results in wrong decisions.
Another joke is having to bring evidence that was not available to the stewards at the time of a decision to an appeal. At times the evidence may have been available to the stewards, but they clearly did not look at it, or misinterpreted said information. This should be admissible at an appeal.

Bottas didnt jump the start per rules. theres an inbuilt lag/margin of error built into the system so while it appears he jumped the start, he didnt break the rules so they made the correct decision.
Yes stewards are human, and yes they can make errors, but more often than not they make the correct decision, however from the outside when people think theyve made the wrong decision, you are basing that on having far less information than the stewards.
Take Turn 1 for instance with Max and Lewis. A lot of people cant understand why they penalised Max. The same people dont have all of the camera angles, throttle traces, brake traces, steering traces, previous laps to compare with etc etc etc.
While their decisions can sometimes seem interesting, when you have all of the information, the nuances of an incident start to come out.
