I understand the weight change due to regulations, but what I meant is because some cars are off the minimum weight, does not mean you increase the minimum weight. I see that as an area to gain performance, there are years to come under this formula and I see no benefit of raising a minimum at a time where the cars have been in development for 2 years.
Hope I am not wrong, but just cause Red Bull and Mercedes are chunky does not mean you move the goal post. I believe I saw somewhere Alfa was the lightest. Maybe just rumor
