I suspect drivers are doing it every race, we just saw it get penalised here to a huge extent.
My big issue with them today wasn't the handing them out it was the delay between the offence and the penalty - I think tsunoda had his black and white flag before he'd been told he'd gone over the line the first time.
Surely track limits should be an automated system that can inform drivers immediately.
Since track limits work off GPS data, in theory violations can be automatically punished. But teams will challenge those calls for whatever reasons, especially if a tangle of 2 or more cars is involved. So we are back to the stewards.
Ideally, there should be an extra steward at the races where track limits are an issue whose only job is punishing track limit violations. Since it's an obvious solution I doubt we will ever see it used.
