Update from Medland:

1200 potential infringements divided by 71 laps means almost 17 potential infringements per lap, so they basically have to review every lap of every driver (counting lapped cars and Magnussen's DNF, there are a total of 1353 completed laps. You would also have to consider the laps behind VSC and pit entry laps)
1200 potential infringements is staggering. It's absolutely the right thing for track limits to be cut and dry, and for penalties to be applied equally. However, there has to be a better way to manage this in the future.
Fundamentally there's just not enough of an immediate consequence for violating track limits. This doesn't happen as often in the wet or when gravel/curbs/walls are involved.
Can anything be done about the design of the corner(s)?
Put gravel outside the kerbs?
