(Reuters) - Spanish Grand Prix stewards summoned Haas team boss Guenther Steiner on Saturday after he criticised a penalty handed to Nico Hulkenberg in Monaco and said Formula One needed professional officials.

The summons followed a report from the governing FIA after alleged breaches of articles in the International Sporting Code in a team media briefing at the Circuit de Catalunya on Thursday.
