Additional Diagnostics

In Simple Terms

The FIA can require F1 teams to add special colored markers to their cars and install additional cameras in specific locations during practice sessions to help with technical monitoring and diagnostics. These cameras don't count as part of the car's official bodywork.

• Teams must apply contrasting markers to bodywork as specified by the FIA for identification purposes
• Teams may be required to install FIA-provided cameras in Position 2 (Right Hand Side) and/or Position 3 during any free practice session
• FIA-specified diagnostic cameras are not classified as bodywork, so they don't count toward technical regulations
• This is a monitoring and diagnostics tool for the FIA to gather data during practice sessions
