Front Axle Suspension Member Pairing
Chapter: C10
In Simple Terms
F1 teams must arrange six front suspension members into two separate pairs. Each pair's connection points at the chassis must be at least 300mm apart horizontally and positioned above a certain height. This design rule ensures structural integrity and consistent handling characteristics.
- Six suspension members must be organized into exactly 2 independent pairs
- Inboard attachment points must be separated by minimum 300mm in the X-direction (longitudinally)
- Inboard points must be positioned above Z=250mm height on the chassis
- Steering and rocker-connected members are excluded from this pairing requirement
Official FIA Text
Excluding steering and rocker-connected members, six suspension members must form 2 independent pairs with inboard points separated minimum 300mm in X and above Z=250mm, accompanied by closest outboard point member.
