5.7 Engine high rev limits :
Engine high rev limits may vary for differing conditions provided all are contained within a band of 750rpm. However, a lower rev limit may be used when :
a) The gearbox is in neutral.
b) Stall prevention is active.
c) The driver clutch request is greater than 95% of the total available travel of the driver clutch actuation device, used only to protect the engine following a driver error.
d) An engine protection is active.
e) The bite point finder strategy is active.
f) The safety car is deployed or during the formation lap.
Except for the above conditions, power unit actuators may not be used to artificially control the power unit speed or alter the power unit response in a rev range more than 750rpm below the final rev limit.
There is no regulations for a pit rev limiter. Theres only this in the sporting regulations :
30.12 A speed limit of 80km/h will be imposed in the pit lane during the whole Event. However, this limit may be amended by the stewards following a recommendation from the FIA F1 safety delegate.
Any team whose driver exceeds the limit during any practice session will be fined €100 for each km/h above the limit, up to a maximum of €1000.
However, in accordance with Article 18.1 the stewards may inflict an additional penalty if they suspect a driver was speeding in order to gain any sort of advantage.
During the race the stewards may impose either of the penalties under Article 16.3a), b), c) or d) on any driver who exceeds the limit.
Teams will deside the pit engine map themselves to suit the 80 km/h pit speed limit.
