  • Yep. All the car/driver combinations are the same weight. The only difference is the lighter drivers carry more ballast to play around with. Media making a whole lot of fuss out of a small matter. Mostly thanks to Martin Whitmarsh's daft comments about not wanting to hire Hulkenburg due to his weight. Seems daft as first of all, I can't see Hulkenberg foaming at the mouth at the prospect of a McLaren drive given their performance this season, secondly he's about the same weight as Button, their number 1 driver.

    Ah, but Button carries the weight of being a former world champion.
