FIA Consistency Controversy Continues After MexicoGP

Hello there, a new topic is coming! As a Formula 1 fan myself, I would love to share my passion with you lovely readers. As a technology-focused blog, it would be a shame if I miss out F1 since top-tier teams - Mercedes AMG,  Ferrari, Red Bull and McLaren - each spends up to $400 million on Research and Development (R&D) every year. Yes, you read that correctly, many describe it as Arms Race.

As the 50th blog post is approaching, I am looking to diversify a little bit.

Now, on to the story:

During the United States Grand Prix, the Red Bull driver, Max Verstappen, made a controversial overtake on a Ferrari driver, Kimi Raikkonen, on the very last lap after starting at pole 16. When the excitement was high, the two-time youngest GP winner was excepted to end up on the podium in 3rd place after overtaking 13 drivers. The FIA (steward specifically) stripped away Max's podium position by offering him a five-second penalty for cutting the corner despite everyone cut/extended the track limit at least once. Not all, but some gained an advantage for doing so, and never penalized. 

Here are all the angles of the controversial overtake:

Now after the Mexican Grand Prix, Hass Team boss Gunther Steiner made a call for a permeate steward for a more consistent decision making. His driver, Roman Grosjean was forced to cut the corner (received a penalty as a result) after McLaren's Alonso pushed him off in a battle. The consistency problem still remains and the FIA stewards under the spotlight, Steiner think there should only be one steward for the entire season.
