Has a Guenther Steiner comment had an effect on the rest of the F1 team bosses?
‘Teams are terrified of speaking out after Guenther Steiner’s layman enquiry’With McLaren questioning, but making a point of not criticising, Lando Norris’ ‘unsportsmanlike behaviour’ penalty in Canada, Ted Kravitz says that’s because the teams are “terrified” of speaking against the FIA.
Norris was perplexed, telling the media “it doesn’t make sense to me”, while his team boss Andrea Stella said he wanted ongoing discussions with the FIA over the penalty. Kravitz reckons that’s because McLaren, and all the other teams, are too scared about having a negative opinion lest the FIA come down on them as they did Guenther Steiner after his Monaco “laymen” remarks.
But in the case of Norris’ penalty, Kravitz reckons a precedent may have already been set out in 2005.“If you look at your sporting regulations, that I know you will have saved on your computers and phones readily available while you’re watching the race, and go to article 55.5 and it says no car, this is phrase for doing what Lando did, which is that no car can be driven unnecessarily slowly under a Safety Car.
“So there’s many reasons, three reasons, why you don’t come in line astern if you’re running 11th and 12th. So Lando dropped back a bit to allow himself a bit of time for Oscar to come in, get serviced, and so that he wouldn’t block anybody.
