The FIA has clamped down on corner cut🍬ting ☂at a number of points on-track ahead of this weekend’s French Grand Prix.

As detailed in the pre-race event notes issued by Formula 1 race director Michael Masi, the bollard system used at a number of circuits has been expanded at Paul Ricard to de🅰tꦆer corning cutting at Turns 1 and 2, and the Turns 3-5 complex.

Two fluorescent bollards have been placed at Turn 2 to outlineꦑ track limits, with an escape route in the run-off area also being determined by some arrow🍸ed blocks.

“Any driver who fails to negotiate Turn 2 by using the track, and who passes completely to the right of the first fluorescent yellow bollard on the apex of the corner, must keep completely t🍒o the right of the fluorescent yellow bollard and re-join the track by driving through the two arrays of blocks in the run-off by passing to the right of the first and to the left of the second,” the event notes read.

A similar system has been put in place at Turns 3-5: “Any driver who fails to negotiate Turn 4 by using the track, and who passes completely to the left of the fluo♌rescent yellow bollard on the apex of the corner, must keep completely to the left of the fluorescent yellow bollard and re-join the track by driving to the left of two blocks in the run-off prior to Turn 5.”

These new deterrents are in addition to pre-pla🍸nned escape roads for corner cutting at Turn♍s 8 and 9.

However, these will on💙ly apply to the race, with any incidents in practice or qualifying being judge🍸d on a case-by-case basis.
