Expanding the width just means that the drivers are going to take that extra space and get violations on the new limit instead. Narrow the rumble strips and put grass or gravel right next to it so that going over is instant punishment and they are suddenly very capable of staying within the lines. As proven for corners with those hazards and the street tracks where the walls define the track limits.

With the amount of violations I think there was just too much for the stewards. Each violation needs to be checked and validated because you know the teams sure as hell will do so.
I don't know how many people were doing the checks but let's say a single check takes at least 10 seconds of "eyes on" time. They reported about 1200 violations. That's 3,33 hours of only track limits violations. And I'm certain some of those checked took longer than 10 seconds. And that's before you get into all the other checks that needed to happen like "Unsafe release", "Forcing another driver off the track", and "not serving a time penalty correctly".
For a track limits violation it's super simple. White lines, keep at least one wheel within them. The fact that several drivers managed without a single violation means others were doing something wrong.
I think I'm about as active here as I was on Reddit. Always was more of a reader.

The people wanting to step in usually aren't the content providers. They just want to ride the high of being "powerful" on an already succesful subreddit without doing any of the hard work to get and keep is succesful. So there is likely to be a massive crash-n-burn coming for all the subs that have their content providers leave (or forcefully removed)
Rule is fine, track might need more obvious hazards because apparently penalties aren't keeping the drivers within the lines. Time to dig some gravelpits.
