The track limits as per FIA Race Directors’ Note is white line for this weekend’s F1 Dutch GP at Circuit Zandvoort. But he has noted about escape roads at certain corners, which includes Turn 1, Turn 8 and Turn 11. The drivers will have to rejoin as per the instructions, which follows:

• Any driver going straight and who misses the corner at Turn 1 must follow the small road along the front of the tyre barrier which leads back on to the track at the exit of Turn 1.
• Any driver going straight and who misses the corner at Turn 8 must follow the small road along the front of the tyre barrier which leads back on to the track at Turn 9.
• Any driver going straight and who misses the corner at Turn 11 must follow the small road along the front of the tyre barrier which leads back on to the track at Turn 12.
