The FIA's stewards themselves seem frustrated and angry with the problems of track limits. In the document clarifying Haas's right to review, the stewards give a clear message to "all parties involved".

Haas was not vindicated by the stewards. Haas tried to use a right to review to adjust the result of the US Grand Prix, alleging several drivers had exceeded the track limits. Although the stewards ruled against Haas, they did send a clear message to F1.

Why the stewards are done with it

"Notwithstanding the formal outcome of this Decision, the Stewards have seen individual pieces of evidence that show what appear to be potential track limit breaches at the apex of Tum 6. They find their inability to properly enforce the current standard for track limits for all competitors completely unsatisfactory and therefore strongly recommend to all concerned that a solution to prevent further reoccurrences of this widespread problem be rapidly deployed.

" Whether the problem is property addressed by better technology solutions, track modifications, a combination thereof, or a different regulation and enforcement standard, the Stewards leave to those better positioned to make such assessments. But given the number of different circuits where significant track limit issues arose this season, acknowledging that the FIA in conjunction with the circuits have already made significant strides, further solutions should be found before the start of the 2024 season."
