Actually it sets precedent so that the stewards never try anything like that again. Its not just about making sure the correct decision is made its about making sure it wont happen again because teams fia and stewards “get away with it”. Rules are there for a reason
This is why Lewis and Mercedes didn't take their Abu Dhabi 2021 Appeal to court btw.
They were clearly in the right and had a very good case for winning, just like Pierre, but in the end winning like that is just garbage. You lose out on basically all the stuff that makes the moment of winning so great. Very reminiscent of Morocco and their AFCON.
I think the only thing worse than winning a title in court, even if it's totally correct, is winning a title through an FIA donation.
Besides, Mercedes thought they had another rocketship on their hands for 2022 so they thought they'd just win the eighth right then instead.
I'm happy they didn't go through with it either way as we wouldn't have gotten Silverstone 2024 and Lewis in red otherwise, and everyone on the planet knows that Lewis was the rightful winner anyways.
Congratulations to Pierre though, it's a completely deserved podium and Alpine are right to fight for every point.
