I think it's their name for a backup set of stewards, but it doesn't make much sense since all their decisions are made based on video replays anyway.

Unless they're bad at making decisions

Its to standardise the decisions and seperate them from the pressure of being at the race.

learnincurve posted:

would they have won the appeal though?

“In accordance with the rules, Mercedes made a protest to the stewards after the race, seeking to change the race classification. The stewards dismissed the protest and Mercedes then had an opportunity to appeal that decision to the FIA International Court of Appeal, but did not do so. There are no other available mechanisms in the rules for amending the race classification.”

No, because in the same report that states the rule was applied incorrectly it also states there are multiple interpretations of the same rule, one of which is what Masi used. But this report has only said these things because Mercedes withdrew the appeal.

Would Mercedes have won if they took it all the way to CAS? Possibly.

There is virtually zero chance the race result would have changed. The only times I can ever recall a race result changing after the fact are cases of penalties, and of timing errors.


Motorsport (and sports generally) tends to look very dimly on the idea of "correcting" a call and extrapolating a theoretical result from that.

It is an unfortunate truth that Ferrari seem to be the only legitimate possibility of defeating the fraudulent max and the despicable horner this season. It gives me no pleasure to say this but all right thinking motorsport fans need to support their sexy car with an obviously cheating engine.
