Pit Lane - Safety Requirements

In Simple Terms

Teams must ensure their cars are safe before sending them back onto the track and can't release them if they might hit someone or damage property. Only essential pit crew members are allowed in the pit lane, and everyone working there must wear helmets. Additionally, drivers under 16 years old are restricted from being in the pit lane during certain times.

• Cars cannot be released if they endanger pit crew or other personnel
• Cars must be in safe, roadworthy condition before leaving the pit
• Only necessary team members allowed in pit lane; all must wear helmets
• Strict age restrictions prevent under-16s from pit lane access during specific periods
