Two MX5's squabbling and more than half the field pays.

Who they pile into could cause quite a stir

Charlie vs. HAM should get quite interesting.

I read , LEW's crash was pretty bad . An Armco barrier repair was required ...
And after that Charlie's test was canceled .

Forza LEW (!)

I think LEW crashed with his rear end in the Armco , the rear axle and the Ferrari gearbox are destroyed (!)

It's just a beginners mistake my friend...

Yeah . As I said It's the beginning of the "Ferrari war horses"...
Just wait 4-5 races my friend for the disaster

At least...Charlie knows how to push his prancing horse to the limits (!)

Johnny Herbert is gone from the stewards list.
The FIA dropped him!
Reason: his media role and activities are incompatible with the work as a steward....

I think the need for better stewards is something that comes from outside of the FIA, and that they're now acting under pressure.
It's strange that a global sport that generates this much money has referees that are unpaid and thus have an agenda elsewere (however they make their money).
If you look at sports like football on the highest level, it's all paid referees and they seldomly give interviews where they ventilate their opinion on active matters. Because they know their job is to be impartial and they're getting paid for it.

Obviously Zac Brown is touting in the media that he's willing to pay the stewards a decent wage but that just shows that he's just not getting it.
I think the pressure isn't just coming from teams or drivers, but also from global opinion for the last half year now.

Of course the FIA plays the money card, but I'm sure they'll find a few 100k per event to pay the stewards a healthy salary. The average GP generates billions per race in total for the local economy, tv rights etc etc.
