FIA Bans Wireless Communications in F1 Racing

FIA's Recent Action

The FIA has prohibited wireless communications that assist in driving performance. This move is part of the International Automobile Federation's ongoing efforts to ensure a balance between driver skill and technological assistance.

Details of the Ban

According to the FIA, this decision enforces Article 20.1 of the sporting regulations, which states:

"The driver must drive the car alone and unaided."

Permitted Communication

However, drivers will still be able to communicate with engineers regarding:

• Safety
• Relevant pit stop advice

They will not be allowed to discuss or receive guidance on actual driving. Conversations will continue to be available during public sessions at live F1 races.
