That error shouldn't have come as a shock, considering they handed out what must've been more pit lane speeding penalties than ever before.

    "Shock" is typical The Race clickbait.

    considering they handed out what must’ve been more pit lane speeding penalties than ever before.

    I don't think much will come of this, though. Fact is that the drivers who didn't cut the white lines didn't get any penalties.
