That dropped Sc﷽humacher back into the danger zone and he was subsequently eliminated in the first segment of qualifying in 19th place. 

Track limits have been a major talking point after 43 offences were recorded over the course of the Austrian Grand Prix weeken𓂃d, with drivers branding the way the matter is policed as “a joke”. 

Red Bull driver Sergio Perez was demoted nine pla🌼ces after a post-qualifying investigation found him guilty of breaching track limits in Austria. 

“Was it fine that Checo lost his lap at the Red Bull Ring? 𒀰Most drivers would say no,” Schumacher said after qualifying.

“In that case, at the end there’s als♛o a rule, and the rule is there for everybody. Unfortunately I exceeded it but it’s definitely something they will have to talk about to see if we can maybe find a less complicated way, maybe something which gives a bit more room. 

“If there’s a bollard, and the bollard flies aw🐽ay, that’s a track limit infringement. But in that case, the bollard was still there.” 

Asked if he finds it strange that track limits were only flagged during qualifying and not practice, Schumacher respon♓ded: “I think it would be good to know through free practice. 

“Nobody told me, I was doing the exact same line through practi💎ce one, two and three. And the fact that then, because of that, my lap was deleted in qualifying. 

“May▨be it would be good to have a heads up, say ‘hey, that won’t be allowed in qualify⭕ing’. Then it’s good, you know what you’re allowed to do and what not. 

“In my case, I wa🧸s really quite confident 𒆙it would be OK to do what I did.”
