F1 cars have gotten gradually heavier over the past few rules cycles, with the 2022 regulations causing a 46kg increase, largely due to new safety improvements such as strengthened impact structures.
It's a far cry from the pre-hybrid era, when cars weighed between 595kg in 2008 and 642kg in 2013 without fuel. When asked by Autosport about the impact of the new regulations, Verstappen said felt the cars are now"extremely heavy" but added he didn't think there was a rapid solution as most of the weight gain has been the result of additional safety measures.
"But overall, the following and stuff has been a bit better. It's difficult to expect how much better it would be but for me at least you have a better chance of racing."But then again, on some tracks it's still very hard to follow but that's also in combination with tyres overheating and stuff, so there are a few things to look at."hoping a weight reduction could make the cars more agile in future regulation cycles.
Who ? What you mean fucking illegal reigning world champion, you can drop trying to get us real F1 fans to believe this bull shit title. NEXT

I'm trying so hard to feel sorry for the playstation generation as it seems they're racing in the worst era of not only the budget cap but also the closer racing regs were designed to prevent dominant cars therefore hard luck to the new generation dreaming of breaking records
