F1 drivers have described the handling of track limits infringements 'a bit of a joke' and 'a bit stupid' after 43 incidents were reported in the AustrianGP.
But amid the debate about the consistency of race officiating, a number of drivers expressed their frustration over how track limits had been handled over the weekend.
“But do you actually gain time? Maybe yes, maybe not. To be honest, it’s only like two or three corners where you can go a bit wider. Verstappen added he thought it “doesn’t look good for the sport as well” to clamp down on areas where drivers would be “naturally penalised” by running wide.Photo by: Andy Hone /
“I had one in Turn 1 or wherever my penalty was, Turn 1, and I just like locked up the front tyre, I hit the sausage [kerb], I’ve lost like a second up the hill - and then I just get track limits for that,” Norris said.
