He's given the positions back, which is basically the consequence. Overtakes outside of track limits aren't legal, but the stewards generally just order the position returned to the driver who was ahead before the driver left the track.

I thought track limits were track limits though? Even if a position/advantage isn't gained.

This is the part where I say I'm not an expert on Formula 1 rules. You'd have to ask someone far smarter than me.

No, you don't get track limits penalties for going off-track if you lost time doing so

Often the stewards will say they won’t be strict at certain corners. This lets the drivers carry additional speed through those corners and go off on the outside.

But they certainly will hand out penalties for repeated offenses at corners they haven’t okayed, because the main reason drivers repeatedly go off at a corner is because it is faster to go off at that corner.

In that case they gain time. If someone is repeatedly pushed off at a corner at loses time every time, they will never get a track limits penalty for that.
