give me a street circuit with hard walls any day. at least put grass or gravel 1m outside the white lines.
then if you cut a corner, you lose time. Unless there is a wall there, then you'll probably lose a wheel.
I remember Verstappen's first time at Monaco, he tagged the wall twice during the weekend.

I'm not a fan of street circuits, but I do agree with what you're saying.
There has to be some way of penalizing off track adventures w/o involving arbitrary marshaling.
They tried it at some venues with astroturf, but that doesn't work....
Not sure what the answer is but they need to come up with something.
