Front Wheel Torque Transfer

In Simple Terms

F1 cars cannot have a mechanical device that connects the two front wheels together to transfer power between them. This rule ensures both front wheels operate independently and prevents teams from using a linked system that could give an unfair handling advantage.

• Any mechanical connection between front wheels for torque transfer is banned
• Front wheels must rotate independently without a locking or linking device
• This prevents teams from creating advanced differential systems that could unfairly enhance grip or cornering
• The rule maintains fair competition by standardizing front axle design limitations
