As mentioned in the written and verbal drivers briefing, triggers were setup to monitor track limits at some key areas of the track. If a driver triggered a cut detection loop they would be notified of this. Due to the fact that this is the first use of official track limits detection, we have decided to be lenient on the application of penalties for this round. The penalties below are given to those who continued to abuse track limits through the race. Each of the 180+ triggers were manually checked and very slight or false triggers were removed. The stewards decided for this round, a driver will get 5 'free' violations before a 2 second penalty would be applied for each additional violation. Please note that this penalty scale will continue to be implemented and adjusted as we go on.

Car 03 - 2 Second Penalty - 6 Track Limits Triggers
Car 06 - 4 Second Penalty - 7 Track Limits Triggers
Car 18 - 4 Second Penalty - 7 Track Limits Triggers
Car 36 - 16 Second Penalty - 13 Track Limits Triggers

The following Cars had 5 or fewer track limits - Cars 02, 09, 10, 11, 17, 21, 30, 31, 32, 43, 46, 47, 59, 67, 78, 80, 85, 87, 88, 92, 98

During qualifying, the stewards checked the laps of everyone with a track limit trigger on their fastest lap. We apologise for the length of time this took to implement but we will be working on a better way to do this in the future.

Car 02 - 1 Lap Time Removed - Track Limits
