Austrian GP: Track Limits, Cheating, and Red Bull's Self-Inflicted Threats

The Austrian Grand Prix was marred by track limits violations, resulting in a slew of post-race penalties that shuffled the grid. The issue of track limits, particularly at Turn 10, was a major talking point. Suggestions for physical deterrents like walls, gravel traps, and sausage curbs were discussed, but safety concerns and practicality make it challenging to find a perfect solution. The FIA plans to renew efforts to get gravel placed on the outside of certain corners, and there may be discussions to redefine the edge of the track. The FIA will also review race control's handling of the breaches and explore more efficient methods of enforcement. The high number of penalties was unusual, but the FIA was criticized for the delay in handing them out. The incident highlights the need for action to prevent similar situations in the future and maintain the appeal of F1 to new fans.
