1kg of weight equates to about 0.035secs a lap on an average circuit. so, for example, Sebastain Vettel (65kg) will be 0.35s faster on a lap than Mark Webber (75kg) all other things being equal
A taller driver is at a disadvantage because his weight is high up in the car
Clearly the weight difference will be made up with ballast but how much of an advantage is gained by being able to put that ballast where you want?
How much is gained from the lower COG?
Is it a coincidence that the 3 perceived top guys in F1, Fred, Seb, and Lewis, are all tiny?
With next years weight limit, will some drivers be forced to race a few kg's over that limit?
