Just been reading this article on the Telegraph's website about drivers complaining that the fatter ones are suffering a disadvantage.
I was surprised by this since I always thought F1 cars were so light that they needed to run ballast to make the 642kg (including driver) minimum. There's no mention of it in the article, but does it come down to being able to chose where to put the 10kg of extra weight that the lightest driver's cars have to carry?
