Turbocharger total mass

In Simple Terms

F1 teams must ensure their turbocharger weighs at least 12kg. This minimum weight requirement prevents teams from making the turbo too light, which could give them an unfair performance advantage while potentially compromising reliability and safety.

• Turbocharger must weigh no less than 12kg total
• This applies to all components of the turbocharger assembly
• The rule ensures competitive balance and prevents excessive weight reduction
• Failure to meet this requirement results in technical regulation violations
