Stewards criticised: "You can't change the rules in the middle of the race"

"It went well this way, rightly so", Doornbos judges at first. Yet the former Formula 1 driver is also critical."It is a point of discussion for the stewards because you cannot change the rules in the middle of the race. Or you punish Hamilton immediately if he went wide too often at the start, but not like: he has done it many times before, now it is not allowed anymore."

In the review on Ziggo Sport the 39-year-old Dutchman further states: "This is pure time gain, that can make a difference of two tenths per lap." In the studio, it is then calculated that that is easily six seconds on a whole race.

"It's a point of discussion, a point of attention. For qualifying, it was very clear, but in the race, it was a bit of a grey area. You shouldn't tell these guys that, because they will take advantage of it," Doornbos concludes.
