Stewards System to be Overhauled

Sounds good lets hope the stewards listen. Also hope it's the same 4 at each race. It really does need an overhaul. Decisions need to have some sort of consistency along with punishments and teams/drivers need to stop being let of at appeals.
 
a smaller permanent group of F1 Stewards will sit with experienced former F1 drivers to provide a permanent panel of three FIA stewards, together with one steward representing the National Sporting Authority, to deal with F1 at each Grand Prix.

I take the term "permanent" to mean the same group will sit at all grand prixs

The way i read it, the panel will be 3 ex Drivers, and one person appointed by the FIA and it will be the same 4 at every race.

There's nothing in either the BBC report or the Autosport equivalent which suggests that it will be the same stewards at each race. In fact since one will represent the local sporting association then by definition at least one seat will change for each race. The "permenant" stewards will likely be a group of maybe 10 folk, not all of whom will be ex drivers, from which 3 will attend each race.
 
''In the interests of keeping stewarding decisions at there most up to date the FIA has revised plans and have replace the 3 ex drivers with two current ones.

Jean todt is pleased to announce that for 2010 onwards all decisions will be made by massa and alonso.

This is hoped to cut down on the unnecessary time and paperwork while coming to the same decisions the stewards would anyway. ''
