Highlighting the inconsistency of the stewards would be the Vettel / Stroll and Stroll / Gasly incidents at Monza.

Vettel got what he deserved for a low incident that was probably avoidable if Stroll had dropped a wheel of the track.

Stroll escaped penalty for what I would say was an even worse dose of the same because Gasly left the circuit at high speed to avoid hitting him when he rejoined unsafely.

An element of the current stewarding that really bothers me is how people escape penalty when they do something unacceptable and the aggrieved party avoids a contact at great cost to their race.

Hamilton avoiding contact with Leclerc at Monza would be an example when he was not left room. (Compare with Vettel incident in Canada for inconsistency too.)
