Yeah it wasn't great but Piastri has easily been the best of the rookies. I think we'll get a very good indication with him over the next few races.

It sounds like the pick of the weekend, and not just from a crash/smash/comedy value point of view too.

The F1 main race just…kind of happened? I had every lap on TV but past the start, it really did nothing.

I genuinely don't understand why they don't just put a gently caress load of gravel where the track limits are and let the drivers figure it out themselves.

They run stupid bicycles on the circuit as well and they don't want to get a booboo when they hit the gravel and tilt because they can't afford more than 2 wheels...

The problem is that the penalty is only 5 seconds after a bunch of warnings, so when the teams run the numbers the risk of going exceeding track limits is worth it. The answer is to reduce the number of warnings and up the penalty to 30 seconds. No team is going to risk going outside the lines with that harsh of a penalty.

Edit: A 30 second penalty would also provide lots of comedy from the team radios. Toto would lose his mind when Lewis goes off twice...

According to the latest rulings, it’s supposed to be:
1-3) warning
4) black and white flag
5) 5-second penalty
6) 10-second penalty
7) stop-and-go?

That’s pretty harsh, if actually enforced.

Here is how it should be

1-2) warning
4) black and white flag
5) 30 - second penalty
6) Gunther loses his poo poo during a live interview.
7) Back to 1.

Why even police it. Whether they all go to the white line or over it... its the same for everyone?

If they didn’t police it at all, drivers would do stupid things at tracks with asphalt runoffs.

I thought though that after the 1st penalty the drivers start getting warnings again?

Should be a statue of limitations on going over the white line. If you make it ten laps and they don’t give you a warning then you get away with it

The much better system was the Massi system, where they'd identify corners where people got too much advantage for running off and set a reasonable limit. Unfortunately his role was replaced with a rotating door of imbeciles so we get rules that fly in the face of logic.
The reason this system is so broken is because it's a one-size fits all solution that circuits were never designed around.
e.g. in Austria you're actually meant to use that kerb, but the white line is before the kerb - if you use it and the car takes the quickest rotation where it goes widest in the middle, you will be out of bounds every time.

Unless they start painting white lines in the middle of the kerbs or behind them you're going to see these ridiculous situations where the racing line is very literally meant to be out of bounds. Making the sport about who can work out how to take the corner least wrong is dumb and it's why the stewards put their note it has to change.
