Sergio Perez believes permanent FIA stewards would help to
improve the consistency of decision-making during races.
Opinion among the drivers has been split after Fernando
Alonso’s penalty from the Australian Grand Prix, with Perez believing 20-second
penalty (converted from a post-race drive-through) was just, while others don’t
think a penalty was called for at all.
FIA consistency questioned with permanent steward solution
presented
With the stewards panel changing from race to race, Perez
believes that the decisions that could come as a result change too, making the
same incidents punishable with different penalties at different weekends.
But the Red Bull thinks there is a way forward.
When asked if having permanent stewards would be a solution
moving forward, Perez told media in Suzuka: “Definitely, I think either
permanent stewards or more communication within the FIA to keep improving race
after race, to have this consistency.
