Reverse Gear

In Simple Terms

Every F1 car must have a working reverse gear that the driver can use whenever needed during the race. This is a basic safety and operational requirement to ensure drivers can maneuver their cars in any situation.

• Reverse gear must be functional and accessible to the driver at all times during competition
• This applies throughout the entire race weekend, from practice to the race itself
• It's a fundamental requirement for car controllability and safety on track
• Failure to maintain reverse gear capability can result in technical penalties
