Changes of fuel and oil suppliers

In Simple Terms

F1 teams can switch to different fuel and oil suppliers during a season, but only if the reason is business-related (like a sponsor deal) rather than to gain a performance advantage. The FIA wants to prevent teams from constantly changing suppliers just to find faster fuel or oil.

• Teams are permitted to change fuel and oil suppliers during the season
• Changes must be for commercial reasons (sponsorships, business deals) only
• Changes cannot be motivated by seeking performance improvements
• The FIA monitors supplier changes to ensure compliance with this rule
