For the uninitiated, the componens in an F1 car can be broken down into three categories — listed team components (LTC), transferable components (TRC), and, standard supply components (SSC).
According to the FIA rule book, components whose design, manufacturing, and intellectual property are owned and/or controlled by a single competitor or its agents on an exclusive basis are LTCs. Parts like the gearbox, exhaust system, front and rear suspension, and electrical loom are some of the many TRCs that can be sold by one team to another.
For the upcoming 2022 season, Aston Martin has chosen not to rely as heavily on Mercedes for as many TRCs but has maintained freedom in other parts of development, as per Green. He said:
