Guenther Steiner summoned to stewards following criticism of F1 officialsBy Philip Duncan, PA F1 Correspondent, BarcelonaHaas team principal Guenther Steiner has been summoned to the stewards following his outburst at the standard of officiating in Formula One. Steiner, 58, described a five-second penalty handed to Nico Hulkenberg at last weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix as “completely wrong” before calling for an overhaul of the FIA’s current model. But speaking ahead of Sunday’s race in Spain, Steiner, who now faces a charge of bringing the sport into disrepute, said: “Every professional sport has professional referees. We need to step it up.”Hulkenberg was penalised following an aggressive overtake on Logan Sargeant on the first lap in Monte Carlo. “Nico comes from the inside, is in front, dives into the corner, but I can’t see a collision,” said Steiner, who will face the stewards at 2:30pm local time (1:30pm UK).
