The modern Formula One car is a single-seat, open-cockpit, [[open-wheel racing car|open-wheel]] racing car with substantial front and rear wings, large wheels, and a [[turbocharged]] engine [[mid-engine design|positioned behind the driver]]. The [[monocoque]] is constructed of reinforced [[carbon fiber|carbon fibre]], lined with [[kevlar]] and fire resistant materials to protect the drivers from high impact crashes and fires. The driver cockpit consists of single seat with a detachable steering wheel in the front. There is a halo mounted on top of the open cockpit, which was introduced in {{f1|2018}}. Two front and rear wheels are bolted to the suspension and the engine is mounted behind the driver. The front and rear wings are aerodynamic surfaces fitted on the extremes.<ref name="Design">{{cite web|url=https://www.fortloc.com/pages/articles/motorsportgen2/F1Car/|title=Parts of Formula One car|work=Fortloc|access-date=1 June 2024|archive-date=20 July 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240720090300/https://www.fortloc.com/pages/articles/motorsportgen2/F1Car/|url-status=live}}</ref> The minimum weight permissible is {{cvt|798|kg}} including the driver, while fitted with dry-weather tyres and no fuel.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.formula1.com/inside_f1/rules_and_regulations/technical_regulations/8711/|title=Technical Regulations – Weight|work=[[FIA]]|access-date=21 January 2013|archive-date=26 February 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150226191923/http://www.formula1.com/inside_f1/rules_and_regulations/technical_regulations/8711/|url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.formula1.com/en/championship/inside-f1/rules-regs/Scrutineering_and_weighing.html|title=Scrutineering and weighing|work=[[FIA]]|access-date=24 June 2018|archive-date=24 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180624232757/https://www.formula1.com/en/championship/inside-f1/rules-regs/Scrutineering_and_weighing.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The cars are limited to dimensions of {{cvt|5.63|m}} in length, {{cvt|2|m}} in width, and {{cvt|0.9|m}} in height.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-vs-f2-top-speed-car-sizes-race-weekends-and-more-compared/10500369/|title=F1 vs F2 compared|work=Motorsport.com|access-date=1 June 2024}}</ref>
