The limits of tracks closely monitored by the FIA
Despite the significant run-off areas available at the Circuit Paul Ricard, the marshals will keep an eye on track limits and will be uncompromising.
Beware of the gluttons. Two weeks after the Austrian Grand Prix where drivers often exceeded track limits, they will not be more lenient. Thus, turn 10 (Signes corner) of Paul Ricard will be closely monitored by the stewards. Any crossing beyond the white line will be penalized and the lap time will be invalidated.
The race director, Eduardo Freitas, along with his team, will be very vigilant regarding the reentry of the drivers onto the track after going off track. At turns 1 and 2, the drivers will have to use the asphalted part without the blue stripes to get back onto the track.
At turn 5, a specific lane has been marked for the return to the track and must be strictly followed. In the usual race director’s notes, it is reminded that drivers not complying with these instructions will be subject to a penalty.
