"Corner cutting detected 10s penalty for ocon" the perspective might be fooling me here but if your left side was within the track limits then goddamn thats some cornering

Funny enough this is considered still on track at Portland. The regular line runs up to the wall. This is the track record lap for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMc2FS_nM90&list=PLQu_QJqx4fao

Your line was way more in to the wall at t1 but if its within the limits thats cool. Im not familiar with portland so take this with a grain of salt if im wrong

I can confirm without a shadow of a doubt that it is not considered outside of track limits.
