Debris Containment from RV-PU-ERS Failures

In Simple Terms

If a car's energy recovery system (the MGU-K that captures energy from braking) breaks down, any loose pieces must stay trapped inside the protective housing rather than flying off onto the track. This rule keeps other drivers and track workers safe from debris.

• Applies to failures of the MGU-K (Motor Generator Unit-Kinetic) and its mechanical power transmission components
• All significant debris must be contained within the part's housing - nothing should escape to the track
• This is a safety requirement to prevent debris from becoming a hazard to other competitors and personnel
• Violation could result in a technical breach during inspection or post-race scrutineering
