I for one am entirely happy with the cars being 50kg heavier to not kill drivers in crashes like these.
Which part of the car got those 50kg? Also aditional 50kg means that cars slam with more force due to being heavier. The real question is what is the ratio between this two factors.
Safety cell is the majority of weight increase, then wheels. It sure is a balance, do you think FIA didn't run the math on that?
About:
+20kg tub reinforcement and larger minimum tub dimension
+20kg for 18" wheels, tyres, wheel covers & wheelbrows altogether
? kg for the larger brakes
+1kg power unit weight increase
