ERS Shutdown on Anti-Stall

In Simple Terms

When a car's engine is about to stall and the FIA's standard computer system automatically shuts it down to prevent that, the ERS (energy recovery system) must also turn off at the same time. This is a safety and fairness measure to prevent drivers from gaining an unfair advantage.

• ERS automatically deactivates when anti-stall system engages
• Applies only to FIA Standard ECU-initiated shutdowns, not manual driver actions
• Prevents drivers from using stored energy after an engine stall event
• Ensures fair competition and consistent rule application across all teams
