    It’s because they cut too much of the corners at the entry and exit. The FIA doesn’t look at speed like how a cop measures a speeding car. They measure the time between two timing beams and divide the distance of those beams by the time to get the speed. If a driver has driven less meters between those two timing beams than what the FIA has decided how far they are apart, like when they cut corners, they basically drove faster even when they were below the limit on their speedometer. Since they reached the next timing beam faster.
