It needs smaller tyres and smaller cars to be able to reduce it significantly. So, I think retaining the current weight, or reducing by a few kilograms is already a good result. If anything, cars are quicker now, thanks to the downforce and the big tyres. "From what it was 20 years ago, where it was a 200 kilogram lighter car.
Stella realised that this has changed the nature of Formula 1, compared to, say, 20 years ago. So, in a way we welcome this kind of mass that has been added to the cars." Like, if we think even next year, there will be an enforcement of safety associated with the roll hoop. "Some of the weight that has been added comes from measures that have to do with safety. So is a lighter car realistic? "I think reducing by 50 kilograms looks quite ambitious, without very significant technical changes, which I don't think at the moment are under consideration," Andrea Stella, McLaren team boss in Canada, responded. I think to make it significantly lighter, as mentioned by Stefano, it will be very, very difficult." 'Safety must not be compromised' He added an important point: "I think the power unit that is defined now is already massively heavier than what we currently have. Pierre Waché, technical director of Red Bull Racing, did broadly agree with his colleague. But that's sort of, I think, the most guaranteed way to put downward pressure on the weight of the car." But not everyone agrees with that point of view. If cars are over the limit, then it forces us all to make some fairly difficult decisions about what we put in our cars and what we don't. The way to make it lighter, I think, is to lower the weight limit and make it our problem. "It is particularly tricky to dream up technical rules that are going to make the car much lighter.
At the same time, he realised the magnitude of the challenge of achieving a reduction. Because, you know, year-on-year they were getting heavier," Allison told the media. The Briton said in Montreal: "He's not alone in thinking that this sort of inexorable upward trend in weight is something that has to be arrested and then reversed. James Allison, Mercedes' technical man, agrees with Domenicali and Ben Sulayem. Read more Budget cap dilemma: Experienced and expensive or cheap and young staff?
