Formula 1's mandatory summer shutdown has begun!

Article To news overview © Red Bull Formula 1 teams are on an enforced holiday as of today, Monday 9 August. F1 introduced a mandatory 14 day shutdown in August as part of the regulations back in 2013, with the intention of forcing teams to ensure personnel are given a mid-season break. That 14 day period began on 9 August, and will be lifted on the 23 August. For that time period, teams aren't permitted to do any development or research work or any sort of tinkering with the cars.
