Tyre Blankets Restriction

In Simple Terms

Teams cannot use tyre blankets (heated covers that keep tyres warm) in the pit lane during normal racing conditions. The blankets must be removed before bringing the tyres to the pit stop area. The only exception is when there's a temporary cessation of the race, where specific rules in Article B5.14 allow their use.

• Tyre blankets are banned in the pit lane during active race conditions (TTCS)
• Blankets must be removed before tyres are transported to the pit stop area
• Limited exception exists during race suspensions under Article B5.14
• This rule ensures consistent tyre temperatures and fair competition
