WHY WAS IT INTRODUCED?The argument for its introduction is that drivers were abusing the old rule, and there was a lack of consistency at different circuits because of an ambiguous definition of what counted as the track."The rule is a massive step forward," said MSV chief Jonathan Palmer."The FIA rule officially made it OK for drivers to use as much grass or surface beyond the white lines as they could."MSA chairman Alan Gow added: "It's the fairest [option]. You've got to draw the line somewhere on the limit of the track."GREY AREASWhat will constitute "justifiable reason"? What about an incident in a heated, wheel-to-wheel battle in which a driver - having already received a warning - runs wide, but does not gain an advantage?What if the infringement is almost invisible to the naked eye?Such innocuous incidents will be thrust firmly into the limelight this season. And they could become the catalyst for a far greater, long-running controversy.The change will put pressure on drivers to adjust approaches honed over many seasons, and on officials to carefully delineate between clear breaches of the rule and genuine mistakes.It will be fascinating to see how this plays out when UK racing gets back underway in a few months' time.
