It is really time good sense prevails and the driver weight is legislated so that it is no longer a performance differentiator, it is unnecessary and unfair. Fix the cockpit length while they are at it.
No good reason only jockeys should drive F1 cars, and even horse racing recognizes weight as a factor.
