What is Track limits in Formula 1?

The white lines defining the edge of the circuit. A car with all four wheels beyond them has left the track; laps gained that way are deleted in qualifying, and repeated breaches in a race bring time penalties.

Example: His pole lap was deleted for track limits at the final corner.
