If Norris were right and following the track limits makes for boring races, I still don’t think drivers being allowed to ignore the track limits should be the solution.
First off, F1 is F1 because of the track shapes. Change those, and you arrive at Drag Racing, Nascar etc.
but isn’t ‘being pushed wide’ and ‘choosing to run wide’ arguable in practice?
in a battle for position, the one on the inside will take any space given.
Maybe this is the reason they get 3 free passes for these situations (running wide with no clear advantage gained)
