Fair competition and participant protection.
Sporting integrity
Applicable participants must comply with the FIA anti-doping and competition-manipulation rules. Relevant owners and senior decision-makers are subject to the specified Fit and Proper Persons framework, including its conditions and exceptions.
A safe environment
The safeguarding framework protects people from abuse and harassment, with particular attention to children and vulnerable adults. Drivers and officials must also comply with anti-alcohol rules. These obligations apply alongside the sporting and technical requirements.
