General Safety - Refuelling

In Simple Terms

During F1 races, teams can only refuel their cars in specific garages with strict safety controls. The fuel must flow at a maximum rate of 0.8 litres per second, and everyone involved must wear proper safety gear, have a fire extinguisher ready, and ensure all equipment is properly grounded to prevent accidents.

• Refuelling is only permitted in designated garages with a maximum flow rate of 0.8 litres per second
• The driver can stay in the car during refuelling but the engine must be turned off
• All personnel must wear FIA Standard compliant safety garments and have a fire extinguisher assistant present
• All equipment must be properly grounded to eliminate electrical hazards and fire risks
