SSPUC Supplier Failure Reclassification

In Simple Terms

If the FIA's chosen supplier for a specific F1 part (SSPUC) can't deliver or the deal falls through, the FIA can change that part's classification to a different category (LPUC, OSPUC, or DSPUC) and update the technical rules accordingly. This ensures the sport can continue smoothly even if a supplier arrangement breaks down.

• FIA has authority to reclassify parts if the selected supplier fails or the contract ends
• Parts can be moved between four categories: SSPUC, LPUC, OSPUC, or DSPUC
• Technical regulations will be adjusted to match the new classification
• This rule ensures F1 can adapt quickly to supply chain disruptions
