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.
