Obligations of Fuel and Engine Oil Suppliers

In Simple Terms

Fuel and oil suppliers who want to work in F1 need to register with the FIA by January 1st of the year before they start. They must pay their fees, follow all the rules, and promise not to sue over patents or intellectual property. It's basically the FIA saying 'if you want to be our supplier, here's what you need to do.'

• Suppliers must register by January 1st of the year before they begin supplying
• Registration requires paying FIA invoices and fees
• Suppliers must agree to follow all FIA Regulations and the International Sporting Code
• Suppliers must sign a patent/intellectual property agreement promising not to pursue patent claims
