Weight problem for Sauber

This season, the minimum weight of 2014 single-seaters is set at 692 kg. A floor value largely exceeded by the single-seaters ofHinwil. “It’s a complicated problem for Sauber to resolve at the moment, explains Sutil. But we are getting lighter step by step. We have to produce ultra-light parts and this is very expensive. The overall weight should normally decrease during the next appointments. Personally, I can't lose any more weight. I'm big and I can't change that. The smaller drivers clearly have an advantage and I hope the regulations can evolve in the future. »

His teammate Esteban Gutiérrez, although lighter than his German teammate, is also experiencing these problems and hopes that his team will be able to resolve this very quickly.
