Mercedes technical director James Allison believes the best way to reduce the weight of F1 cars in the future is to make it a team problem. Read more ⬇️
As revealed by Autosport, F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali and FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem areF1's current generation of cars has a minimum weight of 798kg, which is the highest they have ever been in the history of the world championship.
Allison has suggested an alternative approach, however, is not trying to mandate specific areas of the car that can be made lighter. "It isn't super trivial to get the weight moving in the other direction, but it is particularly tricky to dream up technical rules that are going to make the car much lighter.
Aston Martin's Dan Fallows agreed with Allison's assessment of the situation but said F1 had to make sure that efforts to reduce weight did not end up compromising safety.
