Steiner supports Grosjean: “A penalty that makes no sense”
Romain Grosjean (Haas) was the first driver to receive a place penalty from the second qualifying session of the year 2019 Formula 1. The Frenchman was found guilty of embarrassing Lando Norris (McLaren) Saturday March 30 in Bahrain.
Lando wasn't happy, and neither were the stewards

However, it is above all the withdrawal of a point on the Frenchman's license which raises the hackles of the Haas team principal, Günther Steiner. “He didn’t do anything wrong. There was no warning on the radio. Why should he be penalized a point?
This is totally inappropriate. This is a penalty that makes no sense. About the three penalty places on the grid, we can discuss that, but to give him a penalty point… Guys ? Where do we live there? » On his license, Romain Grosjean is only four points away from exclusion from a Grand Prix, at least until the 2019 Spanish GP.
Günther Steiner recalls that on Friday, the drivers held a debate with the panel of stewards about the assessment of penalties. A meeting which was of no use according to him. “You try to talk with the commissioners, but if you don’t understand anything, you don’t understand anything. If you don't want to know anything, you don't know anything. »
The commissioners would therefore be completely closed to discussion. “I don't know what they talked about the whole meeting, but it seems like they wasted their time. They talk and talk and then they do whatever they want. »
