Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso disagree on FIA president’s key hope to change F1 cars

The minimum weight for F1 cars in 2023 is 798kg - heavier than they used to b🍌e, due to new hybrid engine regulations.
But FIA president Ben Sulayem wants to see li�ꦫ�ghter cars from 2026 when the engine regulations will again change.
Aston Martin driver Alonso reacted: “I don’t think it will change the show much.&nb🌼sp;
“It’s more the size than the weight of the cars which🎃 makes overtaking, and ꦗfights, in the first couple of corners.
“It is difficult to position it because of the sꦡize, not ❀the weight, of the car.
“It will be difficult to significantly reduce the weight because hybrid engines🔯 are heavier.
“And the safety in these cars is higher, as well.ꦓ
“I know there is interes♊t to go in that dℱirection.
“It will be fun to drive lighterಞ cars but it is the size that makes racin🧸g more difficult.”

Mercedes’ Hamilton disagreed with Alonso♏: “I think the dimensions are pretty good.
“I quite like the size of the car b🐻ut obviously there are some places where it is tight.
“But I thin🉐k it is the weight that has definitely gone too far.
“Our wheels this🦩 year are a ridiculous weight. And there’s just no need.
“We’ve had light wheels in the past. The braking 𒅌zones are longer. But I definitely think there’s some good changes they can make for the future.”
Ex-McLaren teammates Alonso and Hamilton have had very differen🎃t experiences wi♈th their cars this year.
Alonso is reborn since moving to Aston Martin anꦐd has renewed hope of another F1 grand pꦗrix win.
But Hamilton’s 2022 woes have carried 🍨into this season, although his W14 sho𓂃wed signs of life last time out in Spain.
Heading into this weekend’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 Canadian Grand Prix, Mercedes willཧ be keen to ensure their pro🌜gress continues.
