Article C3.12.3
Tail Bodywork to Floor and Upper Bodywork Assembly
Chapter: C3
In Simple Terms
F1 cars must have their rear wing and bodywork pieces fit together neatly with no gaps. Teams can use slightly rounded edges (up to 25mm curves) where different bodywork sections meet, but everything must be properly aligned and trimmed to fit precisely.
- Tail bodywork and upper bodywork must be properly fitted together with no gaps or misalignment
- Maximum fillet radius of 25mm allowed at intersections where different bodywork volumes meet
- This rule ensures aerodynamic consistency and prevents teams from exploiting gaps between bodywork sections
- All edges and intersections must be neatly trimmed and finished
Official FIA Text
Tail and Upper Bodywork to Floor Assembly must be trimmed to each other. Fillet Radius no greater than 25mm may be applied along intersections between volumes.
