In Simple Terms

F1 engines must have their main metal parts (crankcases, cylinder heads, and covers) made from aluminum or iron-based alloys. Teams can repair damage using composite or metallic materials, but repairs are limited to 100 square centimeters and 3mm thickness. All bolts and fasteners must be made from approved materials.

• Engine crankcases, cylinder heads, and covers must be manufactured from aluminum or iron-based alloys
• Composite and metallic repairs are allowed after damage with strict limits: maximum 100cm² area and 3mm thickness
