"Every prof🐓essional sport has got profes🎶sionals being referees and stuff like this,” Steiner said. 

"🍒F1 is one of the biggest sports in the world, and we still have laymen deciding on the fate of people who invest millions in their careers. And it's always a discussion♉ because there's no consistency. 

"I think we 𝓀need to step it up. I think it's now time. I think we're discussing this for years and years and we always go ༒back to this." 

Steiner also described F1’s rotating group of FIA-appointed stewards as🅷 “laymen”.&꧙nbsp;

That comment did not go down well with the FIA, who 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:summoned Steiner to a meeting in t💃he Spanish ൩Grand Prix paddock on Saturday. 

Having differed a decision to Sunday morning, the stewards ruled Steiner had violated article 12.2.1.k of the International Sporting Code, which relates to disrespectful 𝔉and damaging words or action💝s. 

“Mr Steiner’s word ‘laymen’ and his referenc✱e to other sports having ‘professional’ personnel could be, and indeed were, perceived to cause offence and in our view reasonably did cause offence not only to the stewards in Monaco but also to other FIA personnel and many motorsport volunteers,” the stewards said. 

In a statement, Steiner said: “Yesterday (Saturday June 3) I attended a Stewar𝄹ds Hearing concerning comments I made during my press conference last Thursday (June 1). 

“I expressed to th𝕴e Stewards my disappointment and disagreement with the🐻 decision taken by the Monaco Stewards last weekend. The Stewards informed me that they had no issue with people disagreeing with decisions but were more concerned about the interpretation that had been placed on some of my comments.

“I explained to the stewards ಞthat I had not intended to offend anyone aꦺnd that my use of certain words could have been open to misinterpretation or misunderstood by some people.

“I told the Stewards that I apologised if my statements were misunderstood or caused hurt to anyone as that was not my intention.♉ I repeaཧt that apology here.”
