Maximum Working Voltage

In Simple Terms

F1 cars use high-voltage electrical systems to power their hybrid engines, but there's a safety limit: the voltage can never go above 1000 volts. This rule protects drivers from electrical hazards and ensures all teams operate within safe electrical standards.

• Maximum voltage limit is strictly 1000V across the entire car's electrical system
• This rule applies to the hybrid power unit and all electrical components
• The limit exists for driver safety and fair competition among teams
• Teams must monitor and manage their electrical systems to stay within this threshold
