There talk about the big changes that are about to be introduced in Formula 1 in 2026 is continuing. Some of new ways to develop the sport are known, but others are still being worked out. The one thing that unites the FIA and Formula 1 is the reduction of the weight of the cars.<\/p>\n
Currently, the cars that drivers race are heavier than ever. For this season, the minimum weight of a car is 1 759 pounds (798 kilograms), which is 440 pounds (200 kilograms) more than the weight in 2008, for example. With each different era and rule change, the car gets heavier.<\/p>\n
