It's my main bug bear with modern circuits. The drivers I respected kept it on the island whilst still driving on the limit. Mistakes were punished and that made the racing better in my view. MS has been the biggest culprit in recent years as he constantly used run off areas during practice sessions to find the limit. I'm not sure he'd have done that a few years ago. At the top level it's more of a gymkhana than motor racing. It's sometimes difficult to tell where the actual track is.
