Ballast

In Autosport this week one of the current F1 designers says that he thinks it is unsatisfactory for cars to run up to 100kg of ballast when it would be better used for strength and safety, and that most designers are making their cars just strong enough to pass the limited requirements of the crash tests, and unless there is official action it will take another 1994 to change things.

I strongly agree with him; does anyone else think ballast should be banned or limited to, say, 10kg?
