Fuel Injector quantity and location

In Simple Terms

Each cylinder in an F1 engine can only have one fuel injector, and it must be positioned inside the cylinder itself - not before the intake valves or after the exhaust valves. This standardization ensures fair competition and prevents teams from gaining unfair advantages through creative injector placement.

• Maximum of one fuel injector permitted per cylinder
• Fuel injectors must be located within the cylinder, between the intake and exhaust valves
• Upstream placement (before intake valves) is prohibited
• Downstream placement (after exhaust valves) is prohibited
