Formula 1 must employ full-time stewards to simplify the sport's rules, according to Zak Brown.
McLaren CEO thinks current F1 is “too regulated”with rules “too complicated”.
Brown suggested like George Russell and other pilots to pay marshals, who are currently unpaid volunteers, and give them access to more technology to make the right decisions about incidents.
“I agree with the drivers, I think we need full-time stewards. I don't think the way we're organized as a sport allows us to be successful without that.”
The most subjective being the hardest to judge, the actions on the track are necessarily the center of attention. Brown simply wants common sense here.
“I think we need to take a step back and not regulate too much what happens on the track. We've never done that in Formula 1 in the past.”
“We race too much by regulation now compared to good old fashioned racing. Just give the stewards a little more discretion. They raced, they know if a driver was pushed or not, or makes a slot, or not, And they don't have this rule written in black and white which can't always be applied logically.
However, Brown says he has confidence in the president of the FIA governing body, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, following the departure of Niels Wittich. The German was replaced from this weekend's Las Vegas Grand Prix by Rui Marques.
"He doesn't joke around. He makes decisions," Brown said of Ben Sulayem. “I think we were surprised by this decision, more so by the timing of it.”
