Suspension Member Attachment Point Locations

In Simple Terms

F1 teams must attach their suspension parts (like springs and dampers) at specific locations on the car's frame. These attachment points must be positioned outboard (toward the sides) of the car, above minimum heights set for each axle, and stay within a defined boundary. Special suspension members have stricter rules requiring them to be even further outboard and very close to the car's load line.

• Outboard attachment points must be positioned beyond the YW=0 line (toward the sides of the car)
• Attachment heights must meet minimum specifications that vary depending on whether it's the front or rear axle
• All parts must stay within the 'Drum' - an imaginary boundary that defines the allowed area
• Exceptional suspension members face stricter positioning: outboard of YW=50 and within 25mm of the load line
