Having been offline for a few days and now just catching up with this thread I'm surprised nobody else (I think) has mentioned the inconsistency in the penalties handed out by the stewards to Hamilton and Russell. Russell was penalised for a minor contact with Sainz by losing three positions in the race. Hamilton for a more serious contact (the actual initial contact, not the resulting crash) with MV received a measly 10 seconds. Surely consistency in imposing penalties should have resulted in LH being demoted to fourth place.
Do we know who the stewards/driver consultant were on the day?
I actually believe that the contact was a 'racing incident', as was Russell's, but if you give someone the power to penalise others (stewards) they are going to use and probably abuse,that power.
