The issue of drivers gaining an advantage by running wide at corners has been a big talking point since the Austrian Grand Prix, when the governing body stood firm on the positioning of some aggressive sausage kerbs.

These caused suspension failures for a number of drivers over the race weekend – which included Daniil Kvyat's spectacular crash in qualifying.

With the kerbs having been changed at the Hungaroring this year as part of a track revamp, the FIA has moved to ensure that track limits do not become a problem.

While old sausage kerbs at the apex of Turns 6 and 7 have been replaced with 50mm high steel 'Abu Dhabi' kerbs, the FIA is using computer monitoring to judge the issue at other corners.

At Turns 4 and 11, new double kerbs have been installed but the run-off area behind them has set at the same height as the kerbs – so there is no deterrent to running wide.

To ensure that drivers keep within the confines of the track, the FIA has announced that electronic policing will be in place.

In a note sent to teams, F1 race director Charlie Whiting said: “We have installed loops 1.6m from the track edge which will alert us when a car has all four wheels off the track in these two locations.”
