F1 rules is a site dedicated to explaining the rules governing Formula 1, the world's premier motorsport competition.

Formula 1 is governed by four sets of rules:

• The International Sporting Code, which governs all competitions sanctioned by the FIA.
• The Sporting Regulations, which govern the conduct of racing competitions in F1.
• The Technical Regulations, which govern the construction of the cars.
• The Financial Regulations, which govern the financial management of the competing teams.

At present, this site covers the key components of the International Sporting Code and Sporting Regulations that are relied upon in the conduct of a Grand Prix:

• The definition and duration of the race
• Race starts
• Red flags and race restarts
• Race results and classification
