Sprung Suspension Requirement

In Simple Terms

Every F1 car must have a sprung suspension system, which means the wheels are connected to the chassis through springs and dampers. This requirement ensures cars have proper shock absorption and handling characteristics during races.

• All F1 cars are mandatory to use sprung suspension systems
• Springs and dampers absorb impacts and maintain tire contact with the track
• This is a technical requirement checked during car scrutineering
• Failure to comply results in the car being deemed non-compliant with regulations
