F1 cars have graduall꧒y gotten heavier in recent years and the latest generation are the heav🍸iest ever thanks to a 46kg increase, taking the current minimum weight to 798kg without fuel. 

Minimum car weight has risen 🐬b✱y a whopping 156kg since 2013 alone. 

A small change was set to come about for 2023, with plans for th🎃e minimum weight to be reduced by two kilogra🍸ms down to 796kg. 

However, at the latest meeting of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) in mid-January, it was agreed the weight limit would remain at 798kg, according to . 

The move will only add to drivers’ frustrations, with the weight increase that came with the 2022 rules revolution 𝔉already proving unpopular. 

Mercedes’ 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell, who is a director of the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association, recently revealed his safety concerns in an interview with select media including mahbx.com. 

“There’s a lot of positives to take from this regulation change, but equally, the big [issue] is the weight,” he s꧒aid.  

“The weight is extraordinary. At the mo꧅ment, the low-speed performance is not great.  

“We keep making these cars safer꧅ and safer, but obviously the heavier you make them when you have an impact it’s like crashing with a bus compared to a Smart Car.  

“You’re going to have a greater impact if you’re going the same speed with a car that weights 800-ꦐodd-kgꦉs or over 900kgs at the start of a race, compared to one 15 years ago when they were at 650kg.  

“And I’m sure there’s analysis going on about striꦰking that right balance because I don’༒t know where the line is drawn.  

“If you just keep making it heavier, heavier, heavier, stronger, stronger, stronger – actually you get to a point wherꦯe you cross over that [line] that too heavy is actually not safer🌳.”  

His teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton has also been critical about increased car weight, while two-time world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen warned there is no🧔 quick solution for the “extremely h𒊎eavy” current generation of F1 cars.
