35 lap times got deleted for track limit infringements.
This discussion centers around Turn 6 specifically, because that's the turn that wasn't policed. That people had lap times deleted in general for corners which we can't accurately determine (because it's not specifically mentioned in the report for deleted lap times) has little relevance to the fact that Haas appeal was rejected.

Giving excuses and derailment to narrow criteria doesn't change the facts.
It's that bad even the Stewards are ridiculing the FIA for their farcical governance.
But hey, what would they know.
The discussion we're having here is Turn 6 specifically. You are then the one expanding that to be about track limits in general. This thread is for the US GP. The general FIA-track limit discussion has its own thread.

Also, i would like to ask you who you are criticizing again: The FIA or the Stewards? Because it seems like you either can't decide, or can't separate between the two.

The subject of the discussion here is centered around the Stewards decision to not penalize at Turn 6, because of lack of proper TV footage, and the rejection of the Haas appeal. You (and two other posters) called that a farce, criticizing the Stewards decision, but when the Stewards then suddenly criticize the FIA and emphasize that they have a responsibility for fixing this problem on a general level - which again, is an entirely separate discussion - you suddenly take their side.

So let's stick to the topic at hand here, which is Turn 6 at the Austin GP 2023, the Haas appeal, and the the Stewards (not the FIAs) decision not to penalize track limits at that corner, due to lack of proper TV footage.
  • Some people called that a farce. I called it the correct decision.
  • You claimed that it was applied inconsistently. I say that there is no evidence of that, given that we don't exactly know which corners drivers had track limits deleted for, how many times it happened at each corner and on what evidence it was based. All we know is that Albon was investigated and acquitted.
