New F1 steward to debut in Turkey

[petrolhead]

A new Formula One steward will make his debut at this weekend's Turkish Grand Prix.

It has emerged that Mohammed Ben Sulayem, the United Arab Emirates' automobile club President and FIA vice President for sport, will be one of the three officials on duty at the Istanbul Park circuit.

He is the first Arab to fulfil the stewarding role, and will reprise the task later this season in Hungary.



"This is a new responsibility and something that cannot be taken lightly," said Ben Sulayem, who in April crashed Renault's Formula One car in a demonstration.

insane guy he is !

According to his article in F1 Magazine, and backed by Renault's engineers confirmation, the Renault had gear box gremlins and it actually spent two hours in the pits beyond schedule while they were trying to trouble shoot it. It makes sense since the car wouldn't shift into 2nd gear when he wanted...

so it is not his fault i guess????

[Haissam]

excuses!

[Bruno]

it could be true but i'm not convinced...


so he will be a steward? what does that mean. rami please explain....

That means he is a referee in simple terms... if any team or driver have any issues during the race, him and other stewards will look into the situation and make a decision on the incident, if there will be any penalties or infractions given during or after the race weekend
