'...obviously the heavier you make them when you have an impact, it’s like crashing with a bus compared to a Smart Car.' F1
George Russell has spoken about his concerns over how heavy Formula 1 cars now are, emphasising in crashes they now resemble a “bus” rather than a “Smart Car” upon impact.
Most of the grid still came in above that new minimum 795kg weight, with a compromise of 798kg agreed between the teams as the least a car and driver could weigh together at the end of a race. The minimum weight has gone up incrementally season by season, but Russell, who represents driver interests as a director of the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association, believes there will come a point where the cars may be too heavy to be considered safe during crashes.
“We keep making these cars safer and safer, but obviously the heavier you make them when you have an impact, it’s like crashing with a bus compared to a Smart Car.
