It's a track design issue. The drivers just go as fast as possible and no matter what we say, lines won't actually deter them. The curbs barely affect the car now so there's no danger to go hard and maybe too wide. Even with smaller cars drivers haven't seen the lines under their tire since at least the mid 90's anyway.

F1 drivers say in interviews that especially with the 2022 regulation cars (bigger wheels, that flap on top of them) the lines are hard to see. They can actually compare to 2021 cars.
