Article C5.1.2
Engine Cubic Capacity
Chapter: C5
In Simple Terms
F1 engines must have a displacement of exactly 1600 cubic centimeters. Teams are allowed 10cc below this limit but cannot exceed it, meaning the legal range is 1590cc to 1600cc. This regulation ensures all teams use similarly-sized engines for fair competition.
- Engine displacement must be between 1590cc and 1600cc
- Teams cannot exceed 1600cc under any circumstances
- A 10cc undersize tolerance is permitted but no oversize tolerance exists
- This specification applies to all power unit manufacturers and customer teams
Official FIA Text
Engine cubic capacity must be 1600cc (+0/-10cc).
Article C5.3.6
Turbocharger rotational speed limit
Chapter: C5
In Simple Terms
F1 teams must limit their turbocharger to spin at a maximum of 150,000 revolutions per minute (rpm). This rule prevents teams from pushing the turbo beyond safe operating limits, which protects engine reliability and maintains competitive balance across the grid.
- Turbocharger maximum speed is capped at 150,000 rpm
- Rule ensures engine reliability and prevents excessive power gains
- Violation can result in engine component failure or competitive advantage
- Teams use electronic limiters to monitor and control turbo speed
Official FIA Text
The rotational speed of the turbocharger may not exceed 150,000rpm.
