Unraveling the Austrian GP: Track limits, penalties, and radio messages

The Austrian Grand Prix saw a controversy over track limits violations, with race control reviewing over 1200 instances of cars exceeding track limits at Turns 9 and 10. After penalties were applied, six drivers were demoted in the final classification. Lewis Hamilton and Esteban Ocon received multiple penalties, with Ocon accumulating the most time penalties. George Russell and Zhou Guanyu were the only drivers to avoid track limits violations. The additional penalties did not affect the championship standings, but an Aston Martin protest resulted in a change in the race result and earned the team five points in the constructors' championship.
