Regarding the onboard footage of Albon’s car, the stewards ruled that while it was significant, it had been available to Haas, and therefore was not new and also not relevant
Meanwhile, despite the outcome of the hearing, the stewards also noted that they found “their inability to properly enforce the current standard for track limits for all competitors completely unsatisfactory and therefore strongly recommend to all concerned that a solution to prevent further reoccurrences of this widespread problem be rapidly deployed”
So, the fact that Albon is going over track limits they don’t even mention, just that the footage has been available the whole time, and then the stewards even admit themselves they didn’t do a good enough job.
I don’t like track limits any more than anyone else but the fact that the teams are not all beholden to the same rules in equal measure it sure seems unfair. How the stewards can just admit they suck and not be open to liability is beyond me.
Aston martin checked and submitted footage on track limits violations within hours of the Austrian GP. Not only did Haas have it, they had plently of time to review it as well. The problem here is that haas are none operationally speaking. Took them 2 weeks to find and highlight this

I think it’s another flawed rule. Haas had it, but that doesn’t mean they had the time to check it.
