» F1-RE Center

Formula 1 Reliability & Effectiveness Centre, opened by Nigel Mansell Grand Fellow of the MIRCE Akademy on 6th December 2000 , facilitates the application of MIRCE-Mechanics methods on the F1 Grand Prix Racing process with objective to recognise the Team and  the Driver in who were the most successful in managing the reliability in each season. . 

The F1-RE Centre annually presents two F1 Reliability Awards entitled:

• The F1 Driver Reliability Champion
• The F1 Team Reliability Champion.

The Awards are based on the corresponding F1 Reliability Tables, which are produced by the F1-RE Centre of the MIRCE Akademy, based on the official FIA organised Formula 1 World Championship data.

F1 Reliability Award for Drivers

The F1-RE Centre defines the F1 Driver’s Reliability as: 

“The ability of the Driver to successfully complete all F1 Grand Prix races in the FIA organised Formula One World Championship season.”

The Drivers’ title of the F1 Driver Reliability Champion will be awarded to the Driver(s) who is placed at the top of the F1 Reliability Table for Drivers, compiled by the F1-RE Centre, at the end of the each season.

Regulations:  A Driver will be awarded one point for every race finished. For every unfinished race, caused by the Team’s error, the driver will be awarded the proportion of the point corresponding to the portion of the race completed. All races count.
