Formula 1 teams have been discussing a potential relaxation of parc ferme regulations, and are keen to see the rules
Parc ferme is a secure area where the FIA inspects and verifies the legality and safety of cars during a race weekend. It was introduced to prevent teams from creating custom cars for qualifying and races. In addition to scrutineering, parc ferme conditions also refer to the limited work that can be done on cars between qualifying and the race, helping teams cut down expenses following the introduction of the cost cap. However, the increasing use of F1’s Sprint format has reduced the time teams have to perfect setups before entering parc ferme, resulting in disqualifications for exceeding plank wear limits. As a result, there have been calls from team representatives to relax parc ferme rules, while still maintaining certain aspects for the protection of teams. Some suggest allowing more flexibility for teams to react to variable weather conditions.
