Article C18.1.2
PU Manufacturer Definition
Chapter: C18
In Simple Terms
When F1 talks about a 'Power Unit Manufacturer,' it doesn't just mean the main company—it also includes any partner teams, suppliers, or outside organizations working with them or doing work on their behalf. If any of these connected entities help develop or provide results that end up being used by the manufacturer, they're considered part of the manufacturer under the rules.
- PU Manufacturer definition is broad and includes associated companies and external partners
- Covers any entity working on behalf of the manufacturer or providing results to them
- Applies to both direct work and indirect contributions that eventually reach the manufacturer
- Important for understanding liability and responsibility across the entire supply chain
