The simplest technology, and I would imagine comparatively inexpensive when taking into consideration the sanctioning fees for the F1 circuits, would be the touch sensitive pads, or whatever they are that are used on Dr Palmer's tracks in the UK.
And the infringement would be any wheel on or beyond the white line. If you assume the white line is the equivalent of the curbing on public roads, then when you were driving, you wouldn't want to bash your wheels on the curb because the likely result would be a severely damaged wheel if not a puncture or certainly a damage tyre.
This really doesn't need to be over thought. Simple answers are often the very best.
