Despite several teams fighting for the lower limit, the plan to reduce the minimum weight of F1 cars has been abandoned ❌ Full story ⬇️
The 2023 F1 technical regulations were published some time ago with the reduction from 798kgs to 796kgs highlighted as part of a general push to eventually have lighter cars.
That change should have been a straightforward process, but due to an administrative oversight, it was omitted from a technical regulation update that was formally passed by the F1 Commission, and which would have set it in stone. That was presumably because they believed that they could get closer than rivals to the originally planned lower limit with their 2023 cars, and thus could potentially gain a competitive advantage.
Nicholas Latifi, Williams FW44, Esteban Ocon, Alpine A522, Alex Albon, Williams FW44, chase the pack at the startSuch a change is not voted on by the teams and the FIA was able to use that article to ensure that the 2023 weight limit has indeed stayed at 798kgs after all.
