Re-programmable devices software identification

In Simple Terms

F1 teams must install a system that lets the FIA easily check what software version is running in their car's computer systems. This ensures teams can't secretly use illegal software upgrades during races.

• All reprogrammable devices (computers/control systems) must have identification mechanisms
• The FIA needs to accurately identify which software version is loaded at any time
• This prevents teams from using unauthorized or banned software updates
• Ensures fair competition and technical regulation compliance
