In pretty much every international sporting competition, the referees are from countries other than the competing teams/athletes. Football, boxing, you name it. It's part of rules to maintain impartiality and fairness in the matches. Englishman Johnny Herbert being part of the stewarding team to judge over English teams and athletes would be a scandal in every other sport's world championship. This weekend a German ADAC higher-up was also part of the stewarding team. I have no idea about his impartiality regarding Mercedes or Nico Hülkenberg and there shouldn't be any questions regarding impartiality based on nationality. That's precisely why others sports have such rules.
F1 has people from many countries in it. I don't know why you're pretending that the stewards are always British.
I don't. I literally wrote that one of the four steward this weekend was German. Unlike you I actually looked up the nationalities but you also proved beforehand that you rather go on pro-English vibe than actual research when claiming that the front row is not treated differently when running red lights.
You're acting like Johnny Herbert/Brits make the decisions. Complete bullshit.
Pro-English? How am I pro English? Prove it. I'm not even English.
You on the other hand are a xenophobe complaining about people's nationalities for no reason, and perpetuating a dumb xenophobic conspiracy theory.
Tell me how it is acceptable for a French or Japanese driver to run over a marshal but not an English one. This should be good.
