Front Impact Structure Homologation

In Simple Terms

F1 teams must submit two identical front impact structures (the crash protection parts at the front of the car) for safety testing. Each one goes through push-off tests first, then different dynamic crash tests. If a car fails these crash tests, the FIA can allow them to test again.

• Two identical front impact structures must be presented for official approval
• Each structure undergoes push-off tests before dynamic crash testing
• The two structures are tested with different dynamic test procedures (Test 1 and Test 2)
• Failed dynamic tests can be retested at the FIA's discretion
