Those who think that track limits are not necessary in Monaco, are wrong. The FIA has defined track limits in its notes for the upcoming Grand Prix weekend, and they will be enforced.
Track limits in Monaco
Monaco is already full of track limits, as there is no room to take advantage of them. The only place where this is possible is at the chicane at turn 10 and 11, where drivers in the past sometimes drove straight on.
It was always obvious that a driver had to give back his position if he gained it in this chicane, but the FIA has clarified this in the notes of the race committee.
A lap time set in this manner will be declared invalid, and during the race, cutting the corner the second time will result in a warning, unless it is through no fault of the driver. If a driver does it again, it will be reported to the stewards.
