What's the record for most 5 second penalties handed out in a race? ThisI'm too lazy to look up the record, but it really was an annoyance that took attention away from some good racing.
has to break that record. lol

Will they modify that corner next time around, or will they simply let up on track limits? Stay tuned.

Turn 10 and a couple others need the curbs pushed out a little before next years race.

Quite frankly, I'm in favour of strictly enforced track limits, and I do
not believe that corners need to be re-profiled to make it easier for
drivers to stay within the limits.
Blind corners, off-camber corners: put a wall there and drivers would
have no problem staying away from the wall. (Obviously, some are going
to try going faster and sliding into the wall, but going faster is what
it's all about, no?)
OK, the argument that drivers have limited visibility and can't always
tell exactly where their tires are. They can see a wall but a line on
the ground is more difficult to spot. So give yourself a wider margin of error. But that means going slower. And the other guy is going to push
harder and be faster than me. So? When he gets his five second penalty
he'll be slower; and if he stays inside the lines and goes faster, well,
I guess he's just a better driver.
Sure, it was a bit of a laugh fest in Austria, but mostly because it was
the first time that so many drivers wouldn't honour the white lines. If
the FIA stays the course and continues to take a hard line over
off-track excursions, I suspect drivers will quickly learn to push just
hard enough to get maximum cornering speed without exceeding track limits.

nope, get rid of stupid track limits, its still equal for everyone
You have no clue at all how this works.
Push out the kerbs?
Great! The drivers will just drive that much wider.
I'm sorry
DRIVE A LITTLE SLOWER.
DRIVE A LITTLE SLOWER.
So now they run out onto curbs until the cars break.
It's equal for everyone WITH the track limits.

Amen to all of this.
Like all the whining heard about not being ABLE to keep it within the
limits.

I'm sorry, but the only thing that this suggests is that it's time they
did something about the driver's ability to SEE.

Though many drivers managed to avoid getting penalised, and one even won
the race. So it was possible to drive competitively without transgressing.
My issue is that some drivers appeared to be crossing the lines in
question with impunity.

The one thing I'd like to see is a more technological solution to the
problem of determining whether or not a car has all wheels over the line.
Surely you could build sensors that determined the car's position and orientation, which together with knowing the cars dimensions should be
able to tell you if all four wheels are over.
You could even give the driver cockpit feedback to let him know how
close he got, because frankly: they can't see enough to easily judge
with vision alone.

We know from Monaco that they are capable of driving within millimetres of walls. in Austria they were simply trying to push the envelope.
