Control & Allocation of Tyres

In Simple Terms

Before an F1 race weekend starts, teams must show all their tires to the official Technical Delegate so they can be inspected and assigned. This ensures fair competition and that everyone is using approved equipment. The only exception is if something unexpected happens beyond the team's control.

• All tires must be presented to the Technical Delegate before the competition begins
• The Technical Delegate allocates and inspects the tires for compliance
• Force majeure (unforeseeable circumstances) is the only acceptable excuse for not following this rule
• This rule applies to every competition, ensuring standardization and fairness
