FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem says venues like Losail and the Red Bull Ring must address track limits problems, or risk losing slots on the Formula 1 calendar.

He believes that the focus for change is not on the FIA policing things more effectively to stamp out any offenders.

We cannot afford , especially where we see it all the time.
