FIA seeks zero notice F1 factory inspections
As F1’s regulations have become increasingly complex, teams now face various restrictions on their operations, such as limits on testing and information sharing. To ensure compliance, the FIA has the right to conduct factory inspections, which previously required advanced notice. However, the FIA now wants to have immediate access to factories without prior warning. They envision a process where they can call a team and request to visit the wind tunnel or other areas. The goal is to minimize waiting time at factory gates to about 10-15 minutes. The FIA has expanded its team of factory inspectors and can now conduct these checks every two or three weeks.
