SIZING AND USAGE
We know some of you like your clothes to be skin-tight to show off your hard-won physique! The FIA says that users shall ensure that garments are not too tight, as this reduces the level of protection, and that they are comfortable to wear under the actual conditions.
In order to obtain maximum protection, all the clothing requested in Appendix L (Chapter III, Article 2) to the FIA International Sporting Code (https://www.fia.com/ regulation/category/123) should be used. Wearers are warned of the particular vulnerability of the neck, wrists and ankles and they shall always be covered by at least two articles of protective clothing.
The balaclava and top underwear shall overlap by a minimum of 3cm around the drivers neck, except at the front central line, where they shall overlap by at least 8cm.
The top and bottom underwear shall overlap by a minimum of 7cm around the drivers waist.
As everyone has a different shape, it is your responsibility to make sure this happens and remember the scrutineers can stop you racing if this isn't the case!
