Enabling & Disabling Use of Driver Adjustable Bodywork System

In Simple Terms

When the safety car comes out, drivers lose the ability to adjust their car's bodywork for aerodynamic performance. The system turns back on once the safety car crosses the first safety line as it heads back to the pit lane. However, the Race Director can prevent full activation if there are safety concerns.

• Driver Adjustable Bodywork (DRS) is automatically disabled when the safety car is deployed
• DRS re-enables when the safety car crosses the first safety car line during its return to the pit lane
• Race Director has discretionary power to disable full activation for safety reasons
• This rule ensures controlled aerodynamic adjustments during safety car periods
