Biometric devices

In Simple Terms

F1 drivers are allowed to wear biometric devices (like heart rate monitors and fitness trackers) during races and practice sessions to monitor their physical condition. These devices help teams and medical staff track driver health and performance, but they must meet FIA safety and technical specifications.

• Drivers may wear approved biometric monitoring devices during official sessions
• Devices must comply with FIA technical and safety standards
• Data collected helps teams monitor driver fitness and health metrics
• Devices cannot interfere with safety equipment or cockpit systems
