    Because it’s better to fix a problem rather than rule around it. Drivers will always try to get as close to the line as possible (literally in this case) so change the tracks to allow them to go harder or to make it too costly to risk.

    Also people don’t like races to be decided by penalties because it seems too arbitrary and isn’t as exciting. Fix the track, improve the experience!

      I completely agree.

      Time penalties, while better than nothing, are far less exciting than actual racing. Especially when penalties have to be issued after a session ends.

      Drivers don’t generally exceed track limits more than once at Monaco.
