During the Grands Prix in Austria we saw the track limits several times. This will also be the case during the Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungaroring. That was announced by the FIA on Thursday morning.

Formula 1 has installed these track limits in curves four, eleven and twelve. The moment a driver passes the red and white kerbs completely with four wheels, his lap time will be taken away in qualifying.

In Sunday's race, as on the Red Bull Ring, there will be three warnings. "The third time a driver commits an offence he will see a black and white flag. Any further cuts will then be reported to the stewards. For the sake of clarity, this means a total of three times combined, not three times in every turn", according to a statement from the race stewards.

Last week Antonio Giovinazzi was shown the black and white flag at the Styrian Grand Prix, but no further (time) penalties were handed out during the race. In qualifying, however, several laps were cancelled.
