Full Regulation Text
Article 5.1
Power Unit Components
Chapter: Chapter I - Power Unit
In Simple Terms
F1 limits how many engine parts each driver can use per season to control costs. You get 3 of most components (engine, turbo, MGU-H, MGU-K) and 2 of others (battery, control electronics). Exceed these limits and you get grid penalties. Teams must balance performance versus reliability.
- 3 engines (ICE) per season
- 3 turbos, MGU-H, MGU-K per season
- 2 energy stores and control electronics per season
- Exceeding limits = grid penalties
Official FIA Text
Each driver may use no more than 3 internal combustion engines (ICE), 3 motor generator units-heat (MGU-H), 3 turbochargers (TC), 3 motor generator units-kinetic (MGU-K), 2 energy stores (ES), 2 control electronics (CE) during the Championship.
Article B8.2.2
Power Unit Element Limitations
Chapter: B8
In Simple Terms
Each driver has a limited allocation of power unit parts they can use across a season. The most restrictive components are the engine, turbocharger, and exhaust (3 each), while some parts like the energy store and control electronics are limited to 2, and smaller ancillary components to 5. Once a driver exceeds these limits, they face grid penalties.
- Engines, turbochargers, and exhausts are limited to 3 per driver per season
- Energy storage units (ES) and control electronics (PU-CE) have tighter restrictions at 2 per season
- MGU-K units are also limited to 2 per driver
- Ancillary power unit components have the most generous allowance at 5 per season
Official FIA Text
Each driver may use no more than: 3 engines (ICE), 3 turbochargers (TC), 3 exhaust sets (EXH), 2 energy store units (ES), 2 control electronics units (PU-CE), 2 MGU-K, and 5 of each Power Unit ancillary component (PU-ANC).
Article C17.1.7
Safety and Reliability Claims
Chapter: C17
In Simple Terms
F1 teams are responsible for making sure their cars are safe and reliable. This rule means a team can't blame other parties (like rival teams, suppliers, or the FIA) for safety or reliability problems that are actually their own responsibility.
- Teams must take responsibility for their car's safety and reliability
- Teams cannot make claims against other parties for issues they are responsible for
- This prevents teams from unfairly blaming competitors or external parties for their own mechanical failures
- Promotes accountability and fair competition among F1 teams
Official FIA Text
F1 Team responsible for safety and reliability issues shall not make claims against other parties inconsistent with that responsibility.
