2014 Regulation Changes Technical Regulations Internal Combustion Engine (ICE): The 2.4 litre, normally-aspirated V8 engine used from 2006 to 2013 has been replaced by a turbocharged 1.6 litre V6 configuration with high pressure direct injection up to a maximum of 500 bar. Maximum engine speed has been reduced from 18,000 rpm to 15,000 rpm. The fuel flow rate of the new ICE must not exceed 100 kg/hour and this maximum rate can only be achieved above 10,500 rpm. Turbocharger: A sole single stage compressor and single stage exhaust turbine are used for pressure charging. Size and boost level of the turbocharger are free and measures must be taken to ensure that, in the event of failure of the turbine wheel, any resulting significant debris is contained within the car. Energy Recovery Systems (ERS): Energy can still be recovered from and deployed to the rear axle, however this is now termed MGU-K (for ‘Kinetic’) and is permitted twice the maximum power of the 2013 motor (120 kW versus 60 kW). It may recover five times more energy per lap (2 MJ versus 400 kJ) and deploy 10 times as much (4 MJ) compared to its 2013 equivalent, equating to over 30 seconds per lap at full power. The rest of the energy is recovered by the MGU-H (for ‘Heat’); an electrical machine connected to the turbocharger. Gearbox: Gearboxes now have eight forward ratios – one more than previously – and the gearbox, including ratios, must now last for six races; one more than the previous five. Where in past years ratios could be altered to suit individual circuit layouts, a single set must now be nominated for an entire season. One ‘joker’ opportunity is available to adjust the ratios during the season. Minimum Weight: To compensate for the increased weight of the powertrain, the regulations stipulate a new minimum weight limit for the car of 691 kg; up from 642 kg in 2013. Within this allowance, the Power Unit itself must have a minimum weight of 145 kg. Exhaust: Unlike previously where two exhaust tailpipes were used, the 2014 regulations mandate the use of a single, central exit tailpipe through which all exhaust gases must pass. Nose Height: The maximum height of the nose has been reduced significantly to 185 mm (down from 550 mm in 2013) to increase driver safety. Front Wing: In the most obvious visual change for 2014, the maximum permitted width of the front wing has been reduced from 1800 mm to 1650 mm. Rear Wing: At the very tail of the car, the lower rear wing has been removed and the size of the top rear wing ‘box’ has been reduced by around 10% (down from a maximum height of 220 mm to 200 mm). The DRS slot is also bigger than in 2013. Brake System: Owing to the increased energy recovery requirements on the rear axle, the rear brakes may now employ a ‘brake-by-wire’ system. The brake system must comprise two separate hydraulic circuits for the front and rear wheels operated by one pedal. The system must be designed so that if a failure occurs in one circuit, the pedal will still operate the brakes in the other. Side Impact Structures: The side impact structures are now of a standard FIA specification for all teams.

2014 Regulation Changes Sporting Regulations Power Unit: The engine has been formally replaced by the Power Unit, a system composed of six separate elements: the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), Motor Generator Unit-Kinetic (MGU-K), Motor Generator Unit-Heat (MGU-H), the Energy Store (ES), the Turbocharger (TC) and Control Electronics (CE). Each driver may use five of each of the above elements during a championship season and any combination of them may be fitted to a car at any one time. Grid penalties will be applied for use of a sixth element and additional elements after this. Fuel: For 2014, the race fuel allowance has been fixed at a maximum of 100 kg, compared to a typical race fuel load of around 150 kg in 2013. To complete the same race distance at similar speeds, the Power Unit must become around 30% more efficient. Testing: In-season testing makes a return to Formula One in 2014, with four tests of no more than two consecutive days permitted at circuits where an event has taken place. Each team must dedicate one of these days to tyre testing. The rules on testing with previous cars and testing with historic cars have also been tightened. Furthermore, the use of wind tunnels and CFD facilities will now be restricted and monitored by the FIA, with sanctions imposed for breaches. Summer Shutdown: While standard practice in recent seasons, the two-week summer shutdown has now been enshrined in regulation. Each competitor must notify suppliers of the dates of its shutdown period and must not enter into any agreement with the intention of circumventing the prohibition of specific activities. Power Unit Homologation: The performance specification of the Power Unit for the 2014 season must be homologated on 28 February. After this point, only modifications for cost and reliability reasons are permitted. 8% of the current Power Unit will remain homologated at the end of the season, with 92% development freedom for 2015. Points: Double points will now be awarded in both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ World Championships at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Driver Numbers: Drivers are now required to elect a number between 2 and 99 which will stand as their racing number for the duration of their career in the FIA Formula One World Championship; the exception being the reigning Drivers’ World Champion, who may choose to reserve his preferred number whilst also running the No.1 during his tenure. Friday Practice Drivers: From 2014, teams are able to run up to four different drivers in either Friday practice session, although a maximum of two cars are of course still permitted per team. New Penalties: Five-second penalties may now be imposed by the race stewards for minor driving infringements. Additionally, any driver who earns 12 penalty points on their Superlicence during a 12-month period will be given a one-race ban. Pole Position Trophy: For the first time in Formula One, a trophy will now be awarded to the driver who scores the most pole positions during a season. In the event of a tie, the trophy will be awarded to the driver who holds the greatest number of second places. If there is still a tie, the greatest number of third places will be taken into account and so on until a winner emerges.
