Zak Brown Advocates For Full-time, Paid Stewards To Simplify F1 Rules
Brown described F1's current regulations as “overly complicated” and “over-regulated.” He emphasised that the sport needs to empower its stewards with more resources and access to technology to make more consistent and informed decisions during high-stakes incidents. At present, the F1 stewards are unpaid volunteers who rely on a set of complex rules and limited technology to make split-second judgments on track decisions. “I think we need full-time stewards,” Brown said in an interview with BBC Sport. “I don’t think the way we’re set up as a sport, we are set up for success. We’re racing too much to a rulebook now versus good old-fashioned racing.”
Brown argued that allowing stewards to use their experience, along with more advanced tools, would improve the quality of decisions and reduce inconsistencies.
