Fernando Alonso adamant size does matter... F1 Formula1

It’s not lighter cars that the drivers want, it’s smaller ones says double F1 World Champion Fernando Alonso.

“One thing I would like to see is very clear: we need a lighter car,” Ben Sulayem told Motorsport.com. “I believe this is better. I come from motorsport, where lighter cars are safer and they won’t use the same amount of fuel. “I don’t think it [lighter cars] would change much the show,” said Alonso. “I think it’s more the size of the cars than the weight of the cars, which makes things a little bit more difficult, overtakings, fights into the first couple of corners in the race, it is difficult now to position the car, just because the size of it, not because the weight of the car.

Earlier this season Alonso was penalised for being out of position on the grid with the Spaniard’s AMR23 having wheels over the white painted line at the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix.
