They feel many drivers were not punished for violating track limits and want that issue explored thoroughly.
So the result is not final. Should make for an interesting day after debrief if the mods allow us to have one.

Aren’t we infantilising F1 drivers then? “If we don’t put something physically in their way they won’t obey the rules”.
Other series have figured it out - MotoGP paints off-limits areas green and they put sensors on the edge. You get too many infringements you get a long lap penalty which costs you a few seconds.
I think this race worked well and they need to do the same at future races, and build consistency. Then people will learn not to take liberties.
If the enforcement overhead is too big, add a fine to the penalty as well: you cross off the track, you get €500 fine as well. Then use that to pay for extra stewards (or set up an automated system).
