Appendix L Ch IV Article 2 c) of the FIA International Sporting Code:
Article 33.3 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations:
If a driver disregards track limits during a lap, that lap time will be deleted because considered gaining an unfair advantage by going off the track.
If track limits are violated on the final corner of a track, not only will that lap time be deleted, but the lap time of the next lap will also not count, as going wide on the final corner is seen to give drivers an advantage (extra speed) for their next lap.
If drivers disregard track limits four times during an F1 race, they will be shown a black and white diagonally split flag (so nothing happens during violations #1, #2 and #3 - but upon violation #4 the B/W flag is shown). Violation #5 implies a 5-second time penalty and likely a penalty point. Violation #6: bad idea.
And remember: 12 points available over a 12-month period. Lose those = a race ban for the next event.
