There's been a lot of debate about track limits, especially in regard to Kimi Antonelli so I thought I would look into it with the help of formula-timer, which helpfully provides data on track limits.
In Summary: Kimi Antonelli (24) has the second most track limits of all the drivers after Silverstone, behind Lance Stroll (36).
Up until Silverstone Antonelli had the most track limits, then Stroll managed to get a whooping 21 track limits in one race, putting him firmly in the lead.
Now this begs the question - how did their teammates fare so far?
George Russell 4 vs 24 Kimi Antonelli
Fernando Alonso 7 vs 36 Lance Stroll
All other team pairs are within 5 track limits of each other. (Table and chart follow below)
Considering how one race skewed the data so strongly, the next question I asked myself was: Who got the most track limits per race?
Australia: No one got more than 1 track limit
China: Lindblad (2)
Japan: No one got more than 1 track limit
Miami: Leclerc (4)
Canada: Antonelli & Piastri (4 each)
Monaco: Stroll (7)
Barcelona: Antonelli (6)
Austria: Antonelli (3)
Britain: Stroll (21)
Once more Stroll (2x) and Antonelli (3x) are the outliers. Here Antonelli overall even did worse than Stroll.

Colors are not helpful here but it does visualize how both Stroll and Antonelli are outliers.
All of this data is to be taken with a grain of salt, there haven't been all that many races and I have only considered the races - if FP sessions and Quali would be included the picture would be a bit different. Still considering only one other driver even has above 10 track limits (Norris 11) both of them should probably work on that.

No it didn't @lockedinabookstore , so below a look at that, but it just affirms the picture from before. Stroll gets up to 43 track limits and Antonelli up to 32.
When only looking at the Sprints Antonelli (8) is slightly worse than Stroll (7).
It only underlines the difference in comparison to the teammates too, less extreme because there are fewer sprints and fewer laps but it's a repetition of the previous pattern
George Russell 2 vs 8 Kimi Antonelli
Fernando Alonso 3 vs 7 Lance Stroll
Most track limits per sprint:
China: No one got more than 1 track limit (only VER got 1)
Miami: Antonelli (5)
Canada: Antonelli (3)
Silverstone: Stroll (3)
Here Antonelli is once more the one who got the most track limits in several races and once more Stroll really had a horrible time in Silverstone.
Data for only the sprints:

Aggregated Races and Sprints
Bottom row: Sum of track limits, blue highlights most track limits per race - it really also underlines how much worse these two drivers are compared to all others. Only three other drivers have more than ten track limits over the season so far and Antonelli has 21+ while Stroll has 32+ more.
Here their outlier status becomes even clearer, it also shows that for notable part of the season so far Antonelli had more track limits than Stroll. After the sprint in Silverstone Antonelli had 25 vs Stroll's 22. The 21 from Silverstone almost doubled his track limits over the season.
george saying "what people don't know is toto and i also speak most days and we have our own conversations" in the newest silver arrows podcast and george girl i WISH i didnt know. i dont WANT to know. but i DO because you never shut up about it.
"if you've got an issue on your car and cant stay on track you shouldn't get a track limits penalty" actually I think if you have an issue on your car that means you can't stay on track then you shouldn't be fucking driving it at all
I didn’t mean to do it 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 well if you retired the car when you were told the first time you wouldn’t have got that penalty you absolute immature baby
