Tyre pressure sensor (TPMS)

In Simple Terms

F1 cars must have tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) installed to help teams and the FIA track tire conditions in real-time during races. These sensors are mounted on the tire valve and provide crucial data about tire performance and safety throughout the event.

• All F1 cars are required to have functioning TPMS units installed on each tire
• Sensors must be properly mounted on the tire valve stem
• Real-time tire pressure data is transmitted to teams and FIA officials
• TPMS helps prevent tire failures and ensures driver safety
