They have no idea about role models or standards - F1 world reacts to FIA stewards penalizing Sebastian Vettel and six other drivers at 2022 Austrian GP

Vettel was penalized for storming off in the Driver's meeting As many as seven F1 drivers were summoned by the stewards in relation to the F1 Austrian GP start radio messages between the drivers and the teams. Even though nothing came of it and no action was taken, this was one of the many "investigations" involving the stewards that left a lot to be desired this weekend. It started with getting fined 25,000 Euros for storming out of the F1 drivers meeting where the stewards were present. In an official report issued by the FIA, it was stated that Vettel's behavior was not in line with what was expected from F1 drivers who are looked up to as role models. Fans were infuriated by the fine levied on the Aston Martin driver. One user expressed shock at the FIA talking about role models. The tweet read: “I cant believe they have the gall to say this “Drivers at this level are role models for every driver around the world and in the opinion of the Stewards Vettel failed to live up to that standard in this case.” They have no idea about role models or standards. ruining ” I cant believe they have the gall to say this "Drivers at this level are role models for every driver around the world and in the opinion of the Stewards Vettel failed to live up to that standard in this case."
