Engine intake air inlets location

In Simple Terms

F1 cars can have a maximum of two air inlets that feed the engine, and both must be positioned on the same vertical plane of the car. These inlets must be located in a specific zone along the car's length (between 850mm and 500mm from the rear) and positioned above a certain height on the chassis.

• Maximum of two engine air inlets allowed per car
• Both inlets must be on the same X plane (same vertical cross-section)
• Inlets must be positioned between XC=-850 and XR=-500 (specific longitudinal zone)
• Inlets must be above Z=200 (minimum height requirement)
