Track Limits Rule Under Fire | F1 News

Former F1 champ Juan Pablo Montoya is demanding a rethink of track limits penalties after Kimi Räikkönen’s teammate Antonelli was slapped with a five-second penalty for going wide — not to gain an advantage, but because his car was failing. Montoya argues that penalties should only apply to intentional track violations, not mechanical mishaps beyond a driver’s control. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff admits stewards face tough calls in such situations, hoping officials recognized Antonelli’s compromised car. The incident sparks debate over whether current rules fairly handle mechanical failures versus deliberate advantage-seeking.
