Just found this if it is of any interest:

probably already seen by some, but just as a summary, Hamilton supposedly inferred to the press that Donnelly was the only one of the stewards insterested in querying him about the pass on kimi, which, according to FIA is outside his juristiction. And also would suggest that his influence is such that he doesnt need to have a vote to be able to enact penalties.
My own point of view is that the placement of Donnelly by Max was a calculated decision in order to enable a quite incredible conflict of interest that has been quite blatent during Donnelly's tenure, however, my view, like the attached article is merely conjecture based on experience, so make of it what you will.
So whats your view, is his placement questionable? Or, given how the season has reflected on the part time stewards, is it impractical want someone with no past dealings in F1, arguement on either side of the issue would be interesting and welcome.
