In Simple Terms
Every F1 car must have a special system installed that lets race control know where the car is on the track and allows them to communicate with the driver during the race. This system is made by a company chosen by the FIA to ensure all teams use the same equipment.
- All F1 cars must have a marshalling system installed
- The system has two main parts: car positioning (GPS tracking) and two-way communication between race control and drivers
- Only FIA-approved manufacturers can supply this mandatory equipment
- This allows race officials to monitor car locations and send messages to drivers in real-time
Official FIA Text
