General Safety - Pit Lane and Track Discipline

Chapter: ARTICLE B1: ORGANISATION OF A COMPETITION

In Simple Terms

The safety rules for the pit lane and on the track are basically the same whether it's a practice session, qualifying, or the actual race. The only exceptions are when the sporting rules specifically say something different for certain sessions.

  • Pit lane safety rules apply equally across all session types (practice, qualifying, sprint, race)
  • Track discipline standards remain consistent unless the Sporting Regulations specify otherwise
  • No special exemptions exist for lower-pressure sessions like free practice
  • Drivers must follow the same safety protocols regardless of session importance
