With all the tech today ,could they not have a sensor to detect the track boundary and automatically put the car into pit lane limp mode... Then have gravel beyond that...
Self governing - no stewards...
As the pit lane limiter is a crucial part of the car for pit stops and the safety thereof, using it to enforce track limits would add an extra layer of complexity that's not really needed. Also if the sensor is faulty then the teams can protest the decisions and possibly impact the result of a race.
If they apply the rules properly then there shouldn't be a problem. If you give F1 drivers an inch, they take a mile. I think the FIA has been a bit tame when it comes to enforcing track limits and corner cutting.
Maybe the changes in Canada will encourage the drivers to behave themselves.
