Article C11.1.4
Brake System Changes On Track
Chapter: C11
In Simple Terms
Drivers can only adjust their brake system while racing by physically controlling the brake pedal or using the rear brake control system. They cannot pre-program or set automatic brake adjustments that happen without their direct input during the race.
- Brake adjustments must be made by the driver's direct physical action (brake pedal input)
- The rear brake control system is permitted as an alternative control method
- Pre-set or automated brake changes are strictly prohibited while the car is on track
- This rule ensures driver control and prevents technological workarounds
Official FIA Text
