Navigating F1's Track Limits: Insights and Solutions

The Austrian Grand Prix saw numerous penalties for drivers exceeding track limits, resulting in deleted lap times and post-race protests. Track limits are defined by the white lines along the edges of the F1 track, and drivers must make every effort to stay within these boundaries. Violations result in penalties, starting with lap time deletions during practices and qualifying, and progressing to warnings and time penalties during the race. The Red Bull Ring circuit's configuration, particularly Turn 10, posed challenges for drivers, leading to frustration and calls for clearer track limits. The FIA has requested the installation of gravel traps to deter drivers from exceeding track limits in the future.
