Safety systems testing

In Simple Terms

The FIA can test a car's safety systems (like halo protection, DRS flaps, and brake systems) whenever they want during a race weekend. Teams must have their safety equipment ready to be checked at any moment to ensure everything is working properly and keeping drivers safe.

• FIA has the authority to test compulsory electronic safety systems at any time during competition
• All safety systems must be operational and available for testing
• Testing can occur without advance notice during race weekends
• Ensures all teams comply with mandatory safety equipment requirements
