It probably does need clarification. There used to be some basic understandings the stewards applied so everyone knew what the standards were and knew what the consequences were.
The Massa / Hamilton decision at Spa overturned all that and since then there have been several odd decisions where the stewards have clearly varied the consistency that existed before and its become rather capricious. and arbitrary.
So Nico wants clarity on it and it is only fair and responsible of the stewards to do that. Penalties and the 'rules of competition' like this should always be open, transparent and consistently applied in similar circumstances so there is no variation in the principles of competition under which the decisions are made.
