T﷽he minimum weight for F1 cars in 2023 is 798kg - heavier than they used to be, due to new hybrid engine regulations.

Aston Martin driver Alonso reacted: “I don’t think it will change the show much.&nbs🗹p;

“It’s more the siꦦze than the weight of the cars w♕hich makes overtaking, and fights, in the first couple of corners. 

“It is difficult to positღion it becau🐈se of the size, not the weight, of the car. 

“It wi▨ll be difficult to significantly reduce the weight because hybrid engines are heavier. 

“And the safety in these cars is highe𓆏r, as well. 

“I know there isཧ interest to go🎉 in that direction. 

“It will be fun to drive lighter cars but it is the size that makes racing more difficult✨.”

Mercedes’ Hamilton disagreed with Alonso: “I think the dimensions are pretty good.▨ 

“I quite like the size of the car but obviously there 🐈are some places where it is tight.

“But I think it is the weight that ಌhas definitely gone too far. 

“Our wheels this year are a ridiculo൩us weight. And there’s just no need.

“We’ve had light wheels in the past. The braking zones are longer. But I definitely think there’s s🌊ome good changes they can make foꩲr the future.”

Ex-McLaren teammates Alonso and Hamilton have had ꦗvery different experiences with their cars this year.

🉐Alonso is reborn since moving to Aston Martin and has renewed hope of another F1 grand prix win.

But Hamilton’s 2022 woes have car♉ried into this season, although his W14 showed signs of life last ti♐me out in Spain.

Heading into this weekend’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 Canadian Grand Prix, Merceꦡdes will be keen to ensure their progress continues.
