Camshaft Manufacturing

In Simple Terms

F1 camshafts must be made from iron-based alloy and carved from a single piece of material. Teams cannot weld different parts together to create the camshaft, ensuring all engines use consistently manufactured components.

• Camshafts must be manufactured from iron-based alloy materials
• Each camshaft must be machined from a single solid piece
• Welding between front and rear bearing journals is strictly prohibited
• This ensures fair competition and prevents teams from gaining unfair advantages through creative manufacturing
