Motorsport: Carlos Sainz calls for permanent race stewards after successfully appealing penalty

# Motorsport: Carlos Sainz called for permanent race stewards in Formula One following his successful appeal against a penalty he received after a collision at the Dutch Grand Prix. Williams driver Sainz protested immediately after his collision with Alpine’s Liam Lawson at the end of August. Williams submitted additional evidence and the Zandvoort stewards changed their decision and cancelled the penalty. Under the present system, stewards are appointed on a race-by-race basis. Sainz said two of the three stewards should be fixed for every race of the season.
