Guenther Steiner claims F1 stewarding inconsistencies are getting worse

Haas team principal Guenther Steiner has once again called into question the consistency of Formula One's stewards, after Romain Grosjean was penalised in the Brazilian Grand Prix.

Grosjean and Esteban Ocon collided on the run to Turn 7 on the opening lap in Brazil, with both drivers spinning off into the run-off area. Force India's Ocon was forced into his first non-finish in F1, while Haas driver Grosjean was deemed to be at fault for causing the incident. The Frenchman received a 10-second time penalty and two penalty points on his licence.

Steiner was left stunned by the decision and compared it with the verdict to hand Williams' Lance Stroll one penalty point and a three-place grid penalty for blocking Grosjean during qualifying at the U.
