Parc Fermé is a restricted area after qualifying. Cars must follow strict rules there. Teams cannot freely change the setup. Officials inspect cars for legality. The rules protect fairness before the race. Only limited adjustments are allowed. For example a team cannot alter suspension settings overnight. That setup stays locked in. Breaking rules leads to penalties. Drivers still may change tires under conditions. Engineers must plan carefully before qualifying ends. A poor setup cannot be easily fixed later. Parc Fermé ensures competition stays equal.
