Used as the final reference in case of disputes or disagreements about rule meaning
Section headings are for navigation purposes only and have no legal weight
Prevents confusion arising from translations or alternative language versions

New systems or technologies

Chapter: ARTICLE C1: GENERAL PRINCIPLES

In Simple Terms

If a team invents a clever new system or technology that isn't explicitly mentioned in the rulebook but the FIA approves it, they can only use it for the rest of that season. Once the season ends, that innovation is no longer allowed unless it becomes an official part of the regulations.

New technologies must be approved by the FIA before use
Approved innovations are only permitted until the end of the season in which they're introduced
Teams cannot carry over one-season innovations to the next season automatically
The regulation prevents any team from gaining a permanent advantage from a loophole

Official FIA Text

Any new system, procedure or technology not specifically covered by these Technical Regulations, but which is deemed permissible by the FIA, will only be admitted until the end of the Championship during which it is introduced.
