I think instead of monitoring track limits, they should just put up massive curbs / gravel / grass exactly where the car would be if it went 1cm past track limits. It would stop people taking the piss, stop the stupid penalties, and also make things more exciting when someone did go to far with them then disadvantaged for a straight etc.
Well the issue here might be that this creates a new safety issue as more or less seen when Hamilton and verstappen stacked on each other. I don't know why they are enforcing these limits. If it's enforced for nobody there is no unfair advantage to be gained
I don't think grass or gravel will cause safety issue in the event of an accident. Kerbs yes.
