1) A team has the highest point of the intake system lower than 100mm above the front wing’s highest point (assume that the wing is as high as possible, driver in the car). Which of the following is rule compliant.

A. A structure with an upper member connecting the hoops with its highest point 340 mm above the lowest cockpit point, a lower member connecting the bottom of the hoops and a diagonal member for triangulation.

B. A structure with an upper member connecting the hoops lower than 320 mm above the lowest cockpit point, a lower member connecting the bottom of the hoops and a diagonal member with its higher point lower than 220mm form the lowest cockpit point providing correct triangulation.

C. It doesn’t need a structure to protect it from collision.

D. A structure with an upper member connecting the hoops between 320-240 mm above the lowest cockpit point, a lower member connecting the bottom of the hoops and a diagonal member for triangulation.
