Ordering of Cars During a Suspension

In Simple Terms

When a race is temporarily stopped (suspended), the FIA will arrange all the cars in their proper running order before the race restarts. The cars must then line up in the Fast Pit Lane in this exact order before the race resumes.

• The FIA establishes the official running order during any race suspension
• All cars must be positioned in the Fast Pit Lane according to this established order
• This ensures a fair and organized restart when the race resumes
• The order reflects each car's position at the moment of suspension
