Myriad track limit violations led Formula 1 to assess time penalties to numerous drivers hours after Max Verstappen won the Austrian Grand Prix.
Verstappen beat Charles Leclerc by approximately four seconds after making a late pit stop for soft tires and the opportunity to post the race’s fastest lap. Verstappen had the luxury of pitting with less than three laps to go because his lead over Leclerc was over 20 seconds.
“It was determined that some of these infringements warranted a penalty that was not previously applied when the Provisional Classification was published. These penalties will be reflected in the Final Classification. “I think they probably need to find a new solution for this track," Hamilton said."I mean years ago when we didn’t have the track limit thing the track was much more enjoyable to drive, but it’s strange to be driving and almost have to comment on the car ahead as that’s what the team ask you to do. I think I did it in Austin, a few years ago, and that’s not racing, right?”
"Regarding the track limits infringements at the 2023 FIA Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix, we note that due to the specifics of the circuit layout and the propensity of many drivers to repeatedly drive outside of the boundaries of the track, an unprecedented situation arose which resulted in all potential infringements not being able to be reviewed during the race," the FIA said in a statement.
