What are track limits in F1 and how do they work?
“Track limits are the defined boundaries on a Formula 1 track that drivers must stay within to avoid penalties. Violations of track limits, such as crossing the white lines that mark the edge of the circuit with all four wheels, can result in penalties. These limits are set to prevent drivers from gaining an unfair advantage by taking wider lines through corners. Penalties for track limit violations can range from deleted lap times in practice and qualifying to time penalties during the race. The use of sausage kerbs, raised kerbs placed on the edge of fast corners, has been controversial as drivers claim they can cause damage to their cars.”
