Is he the first former driver to be awarded two grands prix this season? If that’s the case, he might become a permanent steward in the future.

Nope, i think its Derek Warwick that was the first former driver to be awarded two grands prix

Can you belive they are already running out of stweards willing to do it?

I’m inclined to think that some of them have got the taste for the thing and so can keep on doing it.

No. I don’t think they are “running out”. Rather I think they now have a team who-
1 take the job seriously.
2 understand the nature and function of the job
3 are able to work dispassionately and without preference
Having said that, I still we could move further up to date and replace Fittipaldi and Sullivan with those more recently experienced in F1. Drivers like Fabi, Palmer, Lehto (sp?) and Boutsen.

I think HounslowBusGarage is right, FIA would want to get a core team of ex-drivers who appear regularly and will build up some experience of handling the stewardiing. Then they can mix in others to give them a chance in between.
