Brake System Modification Restriction

Chapter: C11

In Simple Terms

Teams cannot use any motorized devices to automatically adjust or change how their brakes work during a race, except for the rear brake control system which is allowed. Basically, drivers must manually control their brakes—no fancy electronic gadgets can alter brake performance on the fly.

  • No powered devices allowed to modify brake system configuration or performance
  • Exception made only for the rear brake control system
  • Rule ensures fair competition and driver skill in brake management
  • Prevents teams from gaining unfair advantages through brake automation
Official FIA Text

Any powered device other than rear brake control system capable of altering brake system configuration or performance is forbidden.
