LONDON (Reuters) - Formula One could be more transparent about stewards' decisions but there was no hidden agenda behind the penalty that cost Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel victory in Canada, the sport's managing director Ross Brawn said on Tuesday. Brawn recognised that the five second penalty added to Vettel's time after the race had triggered a lot of debate. "That's why transparency is important when it comes to explaining the decisions of the stewards, especially in such a complex sport as Formula One." Whether the rules are fit for purpose, and how much discretion the stewards should have exercised, was another debate. Brawn hailed Vettel as the "star of the weekend" and could understand the four times champion's disappointment and frustration.
