Impact warning system

In Simple Terms

Every F1 car must have a warning light on top of the cockpit that's connected to the crash detection system. This light helps emergency crews quickly understand how serious an accident is when they arrive at the scene.

• A warning light must be fitted to the top of the Survival Cell (cockpit area)
• The light is connected to the FIA ADR (Accident Data Recorder) to detect impact severity
• The light faces upwards so rescue crews can see it easily
• It provides critical information to emergency responders about accident severity
