Position of the Pedals

Chapter: C12

In Simple Terms

F1 teams must position their pedals within specific limits on the car. The frontmost pedal when not being used cannot stick out further forward than 315mm, and the brake pedal must be mountable as far forward as -1515mm. These measurements ensure consistent pedal placement across all cars.

  • The foremost pedal in its resting position has a maximum forward position of 315mm (X A coordinate)
  • The brake pedal must be able to be mounted at a minimum forward position of -1515mm (X C coordinate)
  • These measurements control the longitudinal positioning of pedals on the car's chassis
  • Compliance ensures fair and standardized driver ergonomics across all F1 teams
Official FIA Text

The face of the foremost pedal, when in the inoperative position, must be no further forward than X A =315. It must be possible to mount the pedals with the face of the brake pedal as far forward as X C= −1515.
