Supply of Brake Components

In Simple Terms

F1 teams must use brake components (discs, pads, calipers, master cylinders, and rear brake systems) that are supplied according to official specifications. These parts are classified as 'Open Source Components' (OSC), meaning all teams have access to the same specifications and suppliers.

• Five specific brake components are regulated: disks, pads, calipers, master cylinders, and rear brake control systems
• All these components fall under OSC (Open Source Components) classification
• OSC components ensure competitive fairness by providing all teams with equal access to the same technology
• Teams cannot develop custom or proprietary versions of these regulated brake parts
