Article C10.2.2
Suspension System Independence
Chapter: C10
In Simple Terms
Each car's front and rear suspension systems must work completely independently from each other. This means the suspension on one axle can only react to weight changes on that same axle's wheels, not be affected by what's happening at the other end of the car.
- Front and rear suspension must be mechanically independent and isolated from each other
- Suspension response must only result from load changes on wheels of the same axle
- Prevents indirect load transfer or mechanical linkage between front and rear axles
- Ensures fair and predictable handling characteristics across all teams
Official FIA Text
The suspension system of each axle (front and rear) must be independent from the other axle and so arranged that its response results only from changes in load applied to the wheels of that axle.
