Fuel Energy Flow Maximum

Chapter: C5

In Simple Terms

F1 cars have a limit on how much energy they can get from their fuel per hour of racing. This rule ensures all teams use fuel efficiently and prevents any team from gaining an unfair power advantage by burning fuel faster than allowed. The maximum allowed rate is 3000 megajoules per hour.

  • Fuel energy flow is capped at 3000MJ/h to promote fair competition
  • This regulation encourages efficient fuel consumption and energy management
  • Teams must monitor and control their fuel burn rate throughout the race
  • Exceeding this limit is a technical regulation breach with sporting penalties
