I've got one for you. 15 second penalty and a colouring book so you can practice staying in the lines.

better solution = drive better?!

I really don’t get the drama tbh… I mean half of the grid managed to stay within the lines to not get a penalty - so it is possible.

From the F1 games I know the corner is fun to “just send it”… but rules are rules, at least it is consistent now across all tracks with the white line.

Wasn’t it similar last year as well?

I agree with you. Track is a track. With curves, limits and that stuff. We all know they are faster if they don't brake but... like in any other GP?

Haha, well put! The only thing I really don’t like at all is the fact that the final results changed so much after the chequered flag/podium… I think they were just overloaded with all the track limit violations

They were definitely overloaded. While driving in lap30+ they were still dishing out tracklimits for lap 11. They had a huge backlog to get through. After about lap 35 it looked like they picked up the pace, but seeing how many tracklimits they must, I think the stewards got a hurry up and became a bit sloppier. Although the last part is just speculation by me.

Like I said in the other comment, they should use a automated system…

I can definitely see them getting sloppier haha, I think it was like 1200 violations in total - I can’t even start to imagine how painful this must be
